The Austro Engine AE80R is an aircraft Wankel engine that was first run on 8 January 2013 and is under development by Austro Engine of Wiener Neustadt. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Design and development
The company was founded in 2008 by Gilo Cardozo, who designed the company's first Wankel engine to power a paramotor flight over Mount Everest on 14 May 2007. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] The company's RT300 is a Wankel single-rotor design that produces 31 to 50 hp (23 to 37 kW), while the twin-rotor RT600 produces 53 to 100 hp (40 to 75 kW).
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 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 ...
The AE75R is a twin-rotor four-stroke, 588 cc (35.9 cu in) displacement, air and liquid-cooled, gasoline Wankel engine design, with a helical gear mechanical gearbox reduction drive with reduction ratio of 2.96:1.
The NSU Ro 80 was the second mass-produced two-rotor Wankel-powered vehicle after the Mazda Cosmo. In 1967, NSU and Citroën set up a common company, Comotor, to build engines for Citroën and other car makers. Norton made motorcycles using Wankel engines. AvtoVaz (Lada) manufactured single and twin rotored Wankel powered cars in the early 1980s.
In the context of the developed Wankel engine, "rotary" is something of a misnomer. The Wankel principle applied only to a "rotary piston" and not to the engine as a whole which was a stationary assembly, unlike rotary engines employed in WW1 aircraft in which the entire engine rotated about a fixed crankshaft.
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.
