The bottom of the first  web page on this airplane says that it

will use

two "vankel" type engines made by Vaz in russia.Then it goes on to say
that it will use continental engines. Anybody know what engines

they are

intending to use on this plane?
Brian Trubee

Continentals in the US because they are certified. Vaz/Lada Wankels in

Russia

because they are better :)

Ford/Mazda needs to wake up and FAA certify the RX8 engine for use in

aircraft.

We have already showed them how to do it including use of their own

transmission

parts in the psru.

I would be glad to help them in any way I could.

BTW for all you one rotor fans. How many are interested in buying a

Russian

one rotor? I am thinking of hopping on a flight to Russia and contacting
the factory.

Be intesting to know how many Mazda parts fit/ are interchangeable?

They are

pretty good at sticking to the original design.

Paul, I'm interested. What HP are they rated at and what is the weight?

I have no idea on the weight but they might have aluminum end housings
for the aircraft versions they can use on the one rotor. The HP way back was 70.
