WELCOME TO THE MAZDA WANKEL ROTARY ENGINES FOR AIRCRAFT WEBSITE
POWERED BY LINUX!!
Tom Parkes Turbo 3 Rotor Powered Lancair ES

DON'T CONFUSE THIS ENGINE WITH AUTOMOTIVE PISTON ENGINES CONVERTED TO AIRCRAFT USE or SO-CALLED ALTERNATIVE ENGINES. The rotary has a much better power to weight ratio and power to size ratio than any automotive piston engine. It is also far more robust and will withstand ungodly amounts of turbo boost with out major structural failure.

COMBINATION PSRU ADAPTER PLATE AND MOTOR MOUNT. Saves the weight and cost of a Schertz beam and is lighter than Tracy Crook's adapter plate. The loads on the spacers are reduced greatly as they no longer transmit prop torque loads to the motor mounts located on an oil pan spacer plate. Think about it. Prop torque is 2.85 times higher than engine torque due to the gear box reduction. Engine torque on a Mazda rarely exceeds 200 foot pounds even with a p-port or turbo. Prop torque on the other hand is 567 foot pounds. This torque is reacted directly by this motor plate. There fore loads on the spacer and bolts is greatly reduced with less chance of misalignment.
