prompted this thought (brain f**t??) on a dirct drive twin

Wankel

2 plus 2 (cramped back seat) a combination Molt Tayler drive,
blended wing, Benelli, and a warped mind. Vance

As long as we're talking twins, let's make one of these.

There's one of those based here at Centennial.  Sure is funny

looking

in

the pattern (and on the ramp).

With all due respect Mark, whatever!!  That thing is sex

personified.

While your at it, just call my wife ugly!  Just kidding, :)

It is a marvel of engineering, in my humble opinion, and begs to be
scaled down with turbo rotaries installed.  Heck, even full size it
would perform okay, max TO weight is only 11.5K lbs, empty I think

it's

7700 lbs.

Plus, talk about your no brainer cooling arrangement, straight in,
through the radiator, past the block, straight out.  It's too
beautiful.  Of course it'll only take 10 years to get flying but

worth a

look.

style!!

Looks like they have a model - at least one step further from
vaporware than I am - neat looking tho, - Vance
