Hi, I'm working on this rotary engine and I'm planning to make the front part of a nieuport 11 plane too. This is the current version, I'd like to improve, so any C&C would be very valuable for me. Thank you, and cheers :smile:
The confusion might come from the fact that the Wankel engines are usually called rotary engines since the "piston" or moving part is "rotating" not translating like a regular piston. There are actually engines which are called rotary engines which share the radial pistons arrangement with the radial engine. These differ…
Looking awesome,I especially love the materials! Oh and by the way its radial engine not rotary :p. PS I'm dumb,actually it is rotary engine but looks similar to radial, didnt know radial engines were used in planes.
Thanks guys :smile: I'll include a wireframe in the next update. I mainly used google for it. I found this picture that I liked, so I made the cylinders based on it. Later on I found out that this is a Le Rhône engine, but the uvs were already done, so I didn't make too much changes. Most wwi planes used rotary…
