Dear Paul,
What is the current development status of that German Diesel Rotary engine
Could you give some guidance as to it's improvement in performance;and also any flight tests it has it been subjected to ?

Thanks.
Dave Young.

I have no new information for the past couple of years.
I am a bit skeptical that it actually works.
I'll believe it when I see it run in something like
a car or airplane.

-- By the way,what do you see as the major technical drawbacks of that design?
Also could you remind me of the name of the company that makes it?
Dave.

The rotor bearing is too narrow to take the centrifugal and compression loads.
Rotaries are harder to design then they look.
