Rotron single rotor UAV engine
Anybody heard of this?
Rotron RT600 HFE Heavy Fuel Rotary Engine for UAV, Drone & VTOL Applications
They show the rotors in the PDF brochure; it looks similar to Woelfe Engineering's kart engine where the fuel-oil mixture also lubricates the internals before entering the combustion chamber.
In the RX-8 development book they show Mazda tried even 3 spark plugs on leading and trailing, but they said it didn't make that much of a difference in efficiency. Perhaps with a smaller displacement it works better?
Rotron also provided the engine for Crighton Racing's experimental racer motorcycle.

I originally copied the link for the single rotor engine, but changed the link and not the title.
Thanks for clearing up the fuel info., they show two versions of each single and twin rotor engine running on avgas and jet fuel which I didn't look up until later.
