Rotary engines

I believe some of these photos are of military surplus at the end of WWI.

These look like radials.........Rotaries go Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm! ....and probably
hold oil better. :-)

The second one looks distinctly like the rotary
used in the DRI.

rotaries sprayed oil everywhere, its why they had the cowls open at the
bottom to let it drip out


they look like rotaries,

Very nice photos...Thanks Don. Do you have some more of them?

I think these are rotary engines, but I do not find the type. If german from the first world war it should be Oberursel rotary
engines, but they do not look like these ones.....They dom't either look like french Gnome Rhone engines though. I keep
searching.....

Yes!.......I remembered that these engines (where the crank is bolted to the
airplane
and the prop is bolted to the engine case) were called rotaries
.........about 1 second
after I hit the "send" button, exposing my ignorance on this subject to all
of creation
for all of eternity. I was hoping noone would notice ;-)
Of course, because of my youth, I automatically think of the Wankel-types
when I
hear a reference to "rotary engine".

acknowledged and accepted...:-)
