Does anyone have any objections to go with RB's peripheral ported rotor housings for aviation?
Any field data available on their possible performance?  I haven't called them yet to find out.
The more I think about it, for a N/A engine, it just seems to make sence to use this configuration
to maximize volumetric efficiency- hence BSFC.  Why didn't Mazda use this for production?
Emissions?  Not useful at lower RPM?

All sort of car problems. Bad idle, emissions, sensitive to muffler back pressure, etc.

Ideal for an aircraft engine. Power Sport is getting 215 HP at 6000 and
in theory if you copy the Lemans porting and tuning exactly
240 HP at 6000 RPM for a two rotor.
