IMHO this is a major breakthrough in cutting the work required
to install a liquid cooled engine. This has far reaching
implications for the acceptance of the rotary.

A rad installation like this could take as little as two hours.
The stock oil cooler could be added along side the rad.

The the interior of the cowl is opened up with far more room to
work on the engine and accommodate mufflers under the engine.

All you need add to this illustration is side plates.

The angle of the rad can be adjusted up and down to decrease
or increase the cooling effect.

Will work for pusher and tractor.


This is a brilliant idea on whoever thought it up.
Good thinking outside of the box. Literally :)
Brilliant! brilliant! Brilliant!

IMHO this will become the cooling system of choice.

What happened to the concern about boundary layer thickness and splitting?

Good point. Might be needed in a pusher. On the other hand at climb out
angle of attack it might be fine as is. I am going to try it on
the KIS without as the boundary layer does not have much of a chance
to build up. 

On a pusher you could use a flat plate on top and space it down 2 inches.
That should handle the boundary layer.
