"The EUREKA E! 2743 KERO project is driving key Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) certification for Wankel rotary engines in general aviation. Swiss project leader Mistral Engines plans to supply a range of such engines for original equipment and retrofitting in all types of light airplanes and helicopters. Advantages include excellent reliability as there are few moving parts, a high power-to-weight ratio, compactness and smooth running compared with conventional piston engines. Moreover, the engine will run on widely available jet fuel. Other potential applications include marine engines as well as light industrial applications such as portable generators, compressors and pumps."
