Paul,

 Thought this may be of interest.  They're planning to use a Wankel engine on
 the prototype, but no particulars as to mfg.

The engine we're planning to used is based on the Aixro wankel (http://www.woelfle-engineering.com/) which is already widely
used on UAVs. There are two UK companies converting it for
aircraft use, Parajet (http://www.parajet.com/index.php?id=28) and Escapade (http://www.escapadeaircraft.com/). We're tracking both to see
which comes out best. Power is 40HP and weight (fully installed)
is about 23Kg (51lb).

Paul, I'd like to get a copy of your book. How best to pay?

Tony


Poel Woelfle is a friend of mine. I just saw him a couple of weeks
ago in Friedrichshaven at Aero. We have a Wankel engine get together
every year after the show on Friday evening.

The one rotor is marginal for your use but Poel has a two
rotor running that is perfect. Bare weight for just the engine
is 24 Kg. Firewall forward will double that.

My suggestion is use a Hirth GK40 1:3.79
11 Kg gear box. Contact Daniel Klein at klein@hirth-engines.de
He speaks english well and I discussed it with him at the show.
