Richard,
How difficult would it be to put together an RX8(2 chamber) using your
system  with an aluminum center section.
With glow plugs to run on Jet A? Direct injection in each chamber in one
spark plug hole? Your guess on Wt? HP?
Light Wt. rotors, your front, and rear plates, Mazdrax aluminum center
section if necessary, etc. Max life 500 hours. We need your Email address.

If you really want to run on Jet A by using a spark plug and direct
injection would
not a high boost from a turbo ( or super charger ) get the effective
compression
ratio high enough for compression ignition? It would then be nescessary  to
start on
gas  (gasoline or LPG) and switch over to diesel operation.

Could not have said it any better.
Todays rotary design is pretty maxed out at 10:1 compression ratio, and for
compression ignition you are looking at 16:1 plus. It seems the compression
ration limit is something inherent in the rotary.
Spark ignition of heavy fuel has not done very well in the past. This is
mainly caused by the comparatively low volatility of that kind of fuel,
causing large droplet size in the air/fuel mixture slowing down a combustion
front in the media. That certainly improves with fuel temperature, but not
enough to be comparable to gasoline.
FWIW.
