I was talking with one of our test techs about the rotary,
and he told me he actually worked on the Ford rotary
project.
(yeah I know, Ford is holding back the rotary)
Long time ago, it seems that the team did not have the
patience
or resources to solve the issues with seals. Now mind
you, this is just what I'm being told. The flaming racoon
syndrome. He says
they gave up on the rotary, and left it to Mazda. The
rest is history.

Chuck in my note I forgot to note that we were told in
late
80's by an
engineer at Ford it was the "gas crisis" of 1973
was what killed the
project.My understanding the same thing was true at GM
with the mid-engine
rotary Corvette.

Here is some stuff I have. Ford used a CW engine in a
Mustang for evaluation.
This is the actual motor.
