I remember getting 50 mpg while cruising at 60 mph in my 1300cc
Civic with the CVCC engine turning about 500 rpm slower than

Respectfully, I was comparing the Honda engine with the Toyota

That depends on whether or not either one is any good for
airplanes. Which as you point out, is probably not the case.
But I still wonder if the CVCC combustion system would be
good for an airplane engine.
