Sagebrush posted:You can also run a rotary engine with pre-mixed oil like a two-stroke, which saves you from having the oiling system as a point of failure. I know people run them premix to treat the seals better, but would this actually protect the bearings on the eccentric shaft too? It seems like they would still need oil pressure.

I'd bet the gearbox cuts a lot of the weight savings, and possibly fear of apex seals (though in an airplane carbon buildup shouldn't be an issue, I suppose).

Sad would be if the end of that story involved a funeral home. Sucks about the plane but it can be rebuilt or replaced.
