Another vehicle that needs rotary power! ;-)

Quite remarkable. Unfortunately it will never make it in the US as it
does not meet DOT car rules for all sorts of things let alone side
impact.  My 1973 RX2 weighed about 2000 pounds.


My 2004 RX8 weighs 3000 pounds with the same engine weight and a
smaller body thanks to the draconian  and do good wacko Democrats:)

This extra weight results in 15% worse MPG at 60 MPH where rolling
resistance is equal to aerodynamic drag.

The Renault Clio I rented in Europe this year is about the same size
as the RX2 and larger than the RX8 with more room weighed 2100
pounds. I don't think the death rate is any higher in Europe despite
the lack of speed limits on the Autobahn.

The Clio would do 180 clicks. Renault claims 63 MPG for the Clio. I
am sure not at 180 clicks :)

Hi Paul, Terrafugia was able to get exemptions from most DOT rules
based on the assertion that it is not primarily a road vehicle, more
like an earth mover or farm equipment. I hope the river does not eat
the runway again.

Is it predicted to flood? We are supposed to be in a water shortage.
 The mountains already have two feet of snow. The wacko E's never
get it right. "Climate Change". Sunny yesterday raining tomorrow

Big storm coming tonight.

The global warming was just a government lie.

If you want to know about the climate, look up John Casey's videos
on youtube. We are entering a cooling period until the minimum about
2031.

Look up the climate around 1810 and google the Maunder minimum or
Dalton

     Hi!: you may find interest in this link to a NASA video

http://goparallel.sourceforge.net/detailed-nasa-video-exposes-co2-path-across-earth/

   Probably you're aware that: 'Stack Exchange' maintains a forum on diverse Aviation subjects,
  everybody can ask their questions, some sound childish, but other are of high interest, and
  the technical level of responses is most times a top one.

     Thanks. Best regards. Salud †

Food grows where CO2 flows. No news in that.

I am all for this type of  data gathering. The problem is drawing unfounded conclusion from
it and linearly extrapolated it to the future. Math models are always flawed. The Earth is a
closed loop feed back system. If you want to do something positive irrigate the deserts of
the world and plant trees.
