Beautiful engine but high fuel consumption compared with conventional pistons. Why were they never successful in F1 racing———reliability issues?
Hail Rotary.
Amateur question below (You have been warned!):
Considering the advantages mentioned in this video, why are rotaries not more common? As far as I know, only Mazda still uses it and well eh. Why do performance cars opt for piston engines over the rotaries?
Very informative. Thanks for the video. I know rotary engines are very simple, with few moving parts. However, the problem in the past I believe has been the sealing of chambers. Apart from this, why have they not taken off with all vehicle manufacturers?
