WA airplanes kinda make you want to drool :D

anyone else find these? i was looking at some 20b's and came across them.
apparently the 6 rotor is made for an airplane and i think the 12 rotor is just for fun

the largest Wankel engine was built by Ingersoll-Rand; available in 550 hp (410 kW) one rotor and 1,100 hp (820 kW) two rotor versions, displacing 41 liters per rotor with a rotor approximately one meter in diameter. It was available between 1975 and 1985.

^_^

as for the most rotors.. there is a confirmed 6 rotor
