More like 1989 and probably well before that. Not surprised to see that they STILL haven't managed to transition from a hover. Useless.

Check out Mr. Mollers rotary cycle explanation, it's funny - the rotor moves but so does the fixed output shaft in the middle - he has it moving all around inside the housing with the rotor.....

Looks like he got the illustrations from the 1970 AMF "Visible-Wankel" kit - they didn't really know the insides either!

Felix must be 'rotating' in his grave!
