Totally Nuts Single Rotor Question
OK, getting ready to be flamed.
I want to know if it is possible to produce a single rotor engine for installation in an MCC Smart Car. They currently take a 0.7 Litre engine, but can't produce more than 101BHP.
I reckon a single rotor could fit and hit somewhere around 125+ BHP.
Any comments?
Let the flaming begin!!!!!!

It probably can be done. Expect a lot of work and expenses. It might be much easier to source an existing single rotor rotary from one of the comanies owning a license and "automotive" it.
As always, anything can be done, provided your ready to $$$$$$.

This 1.27 hp, 12 ounce, single rotor R/C engine is nifty:

This guy found a broken one cheap and fixed it. His write-up and photos are interesting:
