A warehouse was discovered in a secret location in south Florida
stacked floor to ceiling with the entire collection of Curtiss Wright
experimental Wankel engines along with all papers, casting patterns
and drawings. These are just some of the engines.
There are well over 50 file  cabinets full of papers and drawings.

Opss forgot to attach the pics.

Are the picture's linked to SCORE project? Multi-fuel direct-injected
engine.

Yes Matthieu they are. You are looking  at some of the original SCORE
engines. Some are wood mockups.

 Paul, I recognize some of these from when Phil Meng was heading up rotary
 development efforts at NASA and hooked us up with Deere engineers
 about 20
 years ago after they acquired all the Curtiss Wright stuff and focused
 efforts on further development of stratafied charge rotary engines using
 government money.  Do we know current ownership and status of these
 engines
 and equipment?  If it is in transition, would  specifically like to
 know if
 we can contact owner(s) to determine whether it would be available for
 inspection and/or inventory to see if it could be worth exploratory
 effort
 for acquisition.  At the time, I think Bob Mount was project engineer
 but I
 don't know if Bob is still alive or not.

Yes Paul, ditto for me. The JD and CW efforts you found are the Holly
Grail for me.

Paul,

Thanks for letting the cat out. Florida huh? Lets see Mistral engine Co.
is in Florida. My brother is in Florida.  I know they aren't in his
hanger:)  Considering the present government  attitude towards 'leaving
no stone unturned in seeking alternative energy', someone needs to send
Joe Biden a report and explain the potential of this dropped research.
Applying for government support to bring the Score project to its next
level would benefit all aviation.I personally believe the next level
was turbo-compound. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if they
didn't already have it developed, confirmed and then hushed up. Those
engines are elegant.
