What are the disadvantages of a rotary engine?
1 Answers
The disadvantages of a rotary engine are: high fuel consumption and heavy pollution. The components have a short lifespan. Since the three apexes of the rotor are responsible for sealing and operate for extended periods without adequate lubrication, they experience premature wear. Additional information: The advantages of a rotary engine are: simple structure, smaller size and weight, lower center of gravity, smoother operation, less vibration, and more importantly, it can deliver greater power with a relatively small displacement. Taking the RX-8's engine as an example, a 1.3L displacement can output power close to that of a 2.5L naturally aspirated or 1.8T engine.
