Can or has a Wankel Rotary engine ever been used in an aeroplane?
Anyone know if this has been tried before?
 
In addition to the various home-built setups, I saw a commercial Mazda rotary engine modified for aircraft use. It was at one of the last fly-ins I attended. Don't recall the supplier's name but a search would surely bring it up. Think they might have a one and a two rotor available. The 'two' I'm sure of.

I was surprised Wankel was not used more in cars, I think it was a good engine.
