A marriage of the turbo fan and the Wankel.
The axial compressor section feeds high pressure air to
he Wankel intake. It is further compressed ten times
by the Wankel. The Wankel exhaust drives the turbine shaft which
goes through the center of the e-shaft forward to drive the fan.
It could go into a gear box and drive a propeller.
With a 4 rotor engine each single Wankel rotor assemble could be
rotated 90 degrees. That would simplify the exhaust and intake ducting
if any was
needed and improve the flow of the gases in general.
An annular air to water heat exchanger could be inserted between the
axial compressor and Wankel air intake to cool the compressed intake air.
I like it. One of the simplest configuration of a turbo compound Wankel.
It is very similar to my version with the turbine mounted on the e-shaft
only simpler.
I'll work on a 3D when I get time.
