Are Rotary engines such a good idea? That is the question. Turbine
engines looked good on paper, sounded good in theory, but in the end
no-go.

My V6 reciprocating engine with 200 HP has more horsepower and gets
better gas mileage.

I guess my question really is, if the rotary engines have more
potential then the reciprocating engines. Why don't we seem more of
them?
