Rolls Royce and the Diesel Wankel

Found this, interesting read. I wish so much for more development into rotary engines; I almost want to study mechanical engineering just to help

Not RX8. Moving to General Automotive.

Emissions and fuel economy haven't exactly been areas of strength for past rotary power plants, but absolutely no one with a soul has ever cared.

More improvements should be done with the rotary engine. If we could put a man on the moon, then i believe the rotary engine will be back with a vengeance.
