I think the rotor is too narrow. That compromises the rotor bearing
and limits the RPM. There is a proper ratio of width to diameter
for plain oil pressure fed bearings. If this is too narrow the plain
bearing loses load capacity.

I spoke to them about it at AERO in 2009.

I think Dankwart worked for Felix Wankel as a technician.

The interesting thing is that they make claims of compression ignition/diesel.
Little evidence of actual shipping products, though.

I have never seen one out side of their booth at AERO.

It does have a somewhat higher compression ratio but not enough
to run as a true diesel. It just burns diesel fuel. Any Wankel
will do that.
