In the 1930s he met Felix Wankel, who became a long-term friend, and with whom Bensinger had a strong bond of trust. [5] From 1943 [6] or 1944 Besinger worked as an engineer with Daimler-Benz AG in Stuttgart [1] where he became head of New Engine Development. From 1945, Bensinger became head of Passenger Car Engine Development. [2]
1972 GM Rotary engine cutaway shows twin-rotors. Popular Science magazine in the May 1972 article "GM Rotary Engine for the 1974 Vega", an illustration of the Wankel installed in a 1974 Vega hatchback showed a different grille, a lower, more sloped hood line, and a "GM Rotary" badge and Wankel crest on the rear quarter panel.
The Wankel engine is a type of rotary piston engine and exists in two primary forms, the Drehkolbenmotor (DKM, "rotary piston engine"), designed by Felix Wankel (see Figure 2.) and the Kreiskolbenmotor (KKM, "circuitous piston engine"), designed by Hanns-Dieter Paschke [2] (see Figure 3.), of which only the latter has left the prototype stage ...
Mistral Engines SA was a Swiss developer and manufacturer of wankel rotary aviation light aircraft, helicopter and unmanned military vehicle engines. [1] Its headquarters was in Geneva, Switzerland [ 2 ] and was majority owned by DEA General Aviation, a Chinese company based in Guangdong .
Single rotor Wankel engine with 294 cm 3 (18 cu in) displacement, 55 hp (41 kW) and a weight of 28 kg (62 lb). [4] The AE50R is installed on the Schleicher ASH 30, Schleicher ASH 31 and Schiebel Camcopter S-100.
The Mercedes-Benz M 950 is a prototype Wankel rotary engine made by Daimler-Benz. It was first described in Wolf-Dieter Bensinger's 1969 essay Der heutige Entwicklungsstand des Wankelmotors, published in January of 1970. [1] The engine was developed by Daimler-Benz's Wankel engine department, headed by Bensinger.
The Norton Wankel engine was further developed at Staverton airport into the MidWest aero-engine. The MidWest engine's output increased from BSA's 85 bhp to nearly 110 bhp [16] by improving volumetric efficiency. This was achieved by feeding pressurised air to cool the rotors which was then dumped overboard (rather than fed to the combustion ...
The XF-40 is a single-rotor Wankel engine. It is a 294 cc (17.9 cu in) displacement, liquid-cooled, petrol engine design, with a poly V belt reduction drive with a reduction ratio of 1.25:1. It employs capacitor discharge ignition and produces 36 hp (27 kW) at 6500 rpm.
