Not a rotary. That's a radial.

In reply to aircooled:
Nope. That was designed to generate electricity by Ingersoll-Rand I believe. 550hp per rotor and you could get one rotor or two. They stopped making them in the mid 80s.

I've worked on a Caterham with that engine. I've also had the chance to poke around a Le Mans 917 for a while. Unfortunately, I didn't get to keep either.
Here's the Caterham later that day.

Really? That's what's hiding in all those round engine shrouds on the cool old WW2 airplanes
In reply to ultraclyde:
Uh... No, I'm in the "you're off base" camp here. Those are radial engines, or I'm the Cat in the Hat.
Rotaries weren't used much after WW1.
This one says it is a rotary (though I'm not entirely convinced...)
