This is one of the major advantages we enjoy over the
air cooled aircraft piston engine.
The rotary will run at peak EGT all day long. It will also keep
running at 200 degrees lean of peak and 25:1 air fuel ratio
like a diesel engine.

Your muffler might not like to run at peak EGT but that is cheap
to replace compared to the cost of an air cooled aircraft piston engine.
Of course it also has no valves to burn up.


I notice that GAMI has now backed off on their recommendations to
run aircraft engines 50 degrees lean of peak after being
publicly vilified by the attached Lycoming pdf :)

Now if only Mazda would wake up and adopt Honda technology for
dealing with NOS emissions when running lean of peak in cars.
