Wankel aircraft engine. The company's aircraft engine line consists of the single rotor Wankel AG LCR - 407 SGti four-stroke, 407 cc (24.8 cu in) displacement, liquid-cooled, fuel injected, petrol, Wankel engine that produces 37 hp (28 kW) at 6000 rpm and the dual rotor Wankel AG LCR - 814 TGti 814 cc (49.7 cu in) displacement, liquid-cooled, fuel injected, petrol, Wankel engine design, that ...
The Renesis won International Engine of the Year and Best New Engine awards 2003 [26] and also holds the "2.5 to 3 liter" (note that the engine is designated as a 1.3–litre by Mazda) size award [27] for 2003 and 2004, where it is considered a 2.6 L engine, but only for the matter of giving awards.
ARV Super2 with AE110. Very closely based upon the Norton engine, the MidWest engine developed the design further. The lubrication system became a semi-total-loss system whereby Silkolene 2-stroke oil was directly injected into the inlet tracts and onto the main roller bearings, but the oil that fed the bearings became an oil-mist within the rotor-cooling air, with about 30% [4] of the oil ...
Wankel engines in auto racing are operated at speeds up to 10,000 rpm, but so are four-stroke reciprocating piston engines with relatively small displacement per cylinder. In aircraft, they are used conservatively, up to 6500 or 7500 rpm.
The Wankel engine is a type of internal combustion engine using an eccentric rotary design to convert pressure into rotating motion. All parts rotate consistently in one direction, as opposed to the common reciprocating piston engine, which has pistons violently changing direction. It is also known as a rotary engine.
The engine produced 135 PS (99 kW; 133 hp) but just 186 N⋅m (137 lb⋅ft) of torque, at a peaky 4,000 rpm, meaning the Roadpacer performed rather poorly as it weighed 1,575 kg (3,472 lb). [3] The Roadpacer was introduced to compete with large Japanese flagship sedans Toyota Century , Nissan President , Isuzu Statesman de Ville , and the ...
The Mazda RX-8 utilizes a rotary Wankel engine, and the non-reciprocating piston engine uses a triangular rotor inside a near oval housing, producing from 141 kW (189 hp) and 164 lb⋅ft (222 N⋅m) of torque, to 177 kW (237 hp) and 159 lb⋅ft (216 N⋅m) of torque from launch.
The Suzuki RE5 is a motorcycle with a liquid-cooled single-rotor Wankel engine, manufactured by Suzuki from 1974 to 1976. Apart from its unusual engine, the RE5 is mostly a conventional roadster, albeit with some peculiar styling details thanks to Italian industrial designer Giorgetto Giugiaro.
