There are better options under development... one being the CAM-Vane engine
which developes a lot of power in a little space, runs on diesel without
sounding like one and is pretty light weight for power produced, thus is
economical...{being developed for unmanned drone aircraft} no word on the
pollution aspects, but I'd guess they're no worse that a wankel.
