Rotax vs. Jabiru
The rotary engine site is pretty interesting. Back in school my
automotive engineering professor sort of ragged on the rotaries for
various reasons, including higher fuel consumption. It is interesting
that the rotaries on that website run 0.50 to 0.55 bsfc. This isn't
great for a gasoline four stroke engine, but compared to a two stroke
ultra light engine, it would be very nice.
