"Weeel, TBH, I'm not even interested in running unless you're going to nail it" 

A mate of mine had a rotary engined Westfield. It was about 115dBA @1m idling IIRC.

Kevin

Ah, but what was the capacity, ha ha, let's see that one answered, hmm?

Swept or static?

[Marks DTM Calib]

What rubbish! Any configuration except I take it?  . 

It is a thunderous sound, weather loud or silenced...poweeeer as JC would say!


Pee shooter rotary indeed, pah. 

Dont get me wrong, I like 8's but, its a fact that an 8 wont run nearly as smoothly as a 6 or multiple there of.....if you dont belave me....work out the firing order, exhaust config etc.....thats why they burble...because they are uneven.

Doesn't matter so much if you can rev the bejeesus out of it without valves hitting pistons. Give it more air and it'll make more power. *

The later ones are pretty good though

[feeutfo]

Swept or static?

Both  . 

Obviously what ever answer is given I won't have the slightest clue if it's correct or not. So I think your safe.

That's the attraction, IMO.

Of oil, yes.

Then there's the fuel.

IIRC 10 litres, 9 cylinders, supercharged and it kicks out 360-400 BHP.

One of them visits the gliding club quite regularly. Sounds gorgeous, IMHO, and it was designed as a trainer for the Soviet air force so it's built like a brick khahzee. -5,+7G and fully aerobatic.
