It's being willing. I found out early that most men, regardless of cause or need, aren't willing. They blink an eye or draw a breath before they pull the trigger. I won't. ~ J.B. Books

One wonders how many ground loops have occurred when that thing takes off.

The first one is the coolest! A rotary engine, not a radial.
The others are unique too but I would love to see the first one running!
I work with a guy that was involved with the tomahawk project he has several pictures as it was being built

I thought a rotary engine was the Wankle version like Mazda used. That looks like the radial engines used in aircraft. What am I missing?
"Rotary aircraft engine
Unlike stationary aircraft engines, in which a turning crankshaft drives the propeller, in rotaries the whole engine spins around a stationary crankshaft. The prop is bolted directly to the engine and spins with it. The primary reason for the rotary configuration was to provide adequate cooling."
Best.
What he said! Must have been a Polish design🤣
They're both called rotaries. A Mazda-style Wankel engine and a radial engine which has the crankshaft bolted to the firewall and has the cylinders rotating. Two different concepts, same name.
I have learned something today. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't want the thing spinning that close to my knees.
i found the perfect cycle for the GB Geezers Motorcycle club..
