Wankel Engines Project Report edited .pdf - 123SeminarsOnly

Since Wankel engines operate at a relatively high rotational speed with relatively low torque,
propeller aircraft must use a Propeller Speed Reduction Unit (PSRU) to keep their propellers
within the proper speed range.
APPLICATIONS OTHER THAN TO AIRCRAFTS
(a) Motorcycle
Rotary engine motorcycles of high performance shows the comfort feeling unique to the
rotary engine resulting from less vibration, high power, etc.
(b) Snowmobile
Snowmobiles equipped with a rotary engine develop high performance and provides comfort
in operation.
(c) Outboard Engine
Outboard rotary engines are more compact consume less fuel, and provide higher
performance and comfort than the ordinary 2-cycle reciprocating engines.
(d) High-speed Boat
Rotary engine high-speed boats have already won championships in many races.
(e) Helicopter
Helicopters installed with a rotary engine by Curtiss-Wright are used as training helicopters
in the U.S. Air Force.
(f) General-purpose Engine
Small, light weight and portable rotary engines are widely used for generators, fire pumps,
agricultural machines, etc.
(g) Industrial Engines
Very large rotary engines are also developed for driving compressors and pumps.
(h) Chain Saws
The very low vibration of the rotary engine is effective in preventing occupational diseases.
such as vibration disease.
(i) Model Engines
The smallest sized rotary engine ever developed when installed on a model plane. has the
advantages of compactness and a centrally lacated output shaft.
