Looks like the RX9 will have a turbo charged 16B with 400 HP.

Aluminum end housing so no need to reinvent the wheel for a LSA one
rotor.

Here is the patent discussed.

Not mentioned but it might be a turbo compound hybrid.

No new invention discussed in that pdf. Taking the same ports and just swapping places gave no new product. All that is accomplished is the heat is put out the top away from body and battery banks. Less than weak patent app. It address only their mountings and not the Wankel engines dynamics. IMHO. A simple petition and Judicial injunction could stop the nonsense filling.

Filling? You mean filing?

The people in the patent office are not competent in a lot of fields so they can't tell a good patent
from and old  or bad idea. Some of the dumbest things have been patented. Especially
if the patent t is complicated and wordy :-)

I know because I am in that process right now.
