    A Boxer is still a piston engine.

    Agree with GH... how can you argue with the high rpms turbines can hit? And a good turbine can drink just about anything.

    Y2K FTW.



    Same engine as the Bell JetRanger and Kiowa. And it'll run on gin and vodka.

    And according to the most famous Y2K owner out there, Jay Leno, it'll melt the plastic bumper of any idiot who decides to tailgate you at a stoplight...

    Rotary for me is the nearest to a turbine engine.
    Unlike pistons that reciprocate rotary engine are radial, less wear and tear.
    Invest and refine or even reinvent it to run in all fuels then you have good engine.

    Why do rotaries eat up more oil than pistons?

    Have you owned a rotary engine before?... the seals wear out faster than piston rings. Use bad gas with resulting ping, bye bye engine.
