The wankel is a revolutionary high reliability engine. Why doesn't Mazda use
the engine in more of it's models? Some are even using it in experimental
aircraft. Reliability is a particularly useful attribute in an aircraft
engine. http://homepage.mac.com/rotarycoot/

Look at the world today. Is there anything more pitiful? What madness there
is. What blindness. What unintelligent leadership. A scurrying mass of
bewildered humanity, crashing headlong against each other, compelled by an
orgy of greed and brutality. The time must come my friend, when this orgy
will spend itself. When brutality and the lust for power, must perish by its
own sword. -Lost Horizon, 1936
