I LIKE it... I like it a LOT. I wonder if the increased displacement is from thicker rotors, or increased lateral dimensions... Thicker means easier adaptation in my mind for existing PSRU's.. if the bolt pattern remains the same. The mounting plates would need to be remachined... I'm all about lighter, and I LOVE the idea of direct injection - no throttle lag, minimal wasted fuel - however single injector per rotor looks like the name of the game here. So.. have an engine that makes MORE power than a 13B yet weighs less and is in theory more efficient. Looks like a nice upgrade in the future..

Good things to come for lighter, more powerful aviation engines!* * Next Generation RENESIS (Rotary Engine 16X)* In developing the next-generation RENESIS, Mazda made a thoroughgoing revision of engine dimensions including the trochoid rotor housing, adopting a longer stroke and larger displacement of 1600cc (800cc x 2) aimed to raise thermal efficiency and boost torque at all engine speeds. By employing the Hydrogen RE design policy of a direct injection system and aluminum side housing, as well as various other measures, we are further promoting the rotary engine’s merits of light weight and compact size. -- Homepage: http://www.flyrotary.com/ Archive and UnSub: http://mail.lancaironline.net:81/lists/flyrotary/List.html -- Homepage: http://www.flyrotary.com/ Archive and UnSub: http://mail.lancaironline.net:81/lists/flyrotary/List.html
