I have no details, but I remember reading some years ago of one
interesting solution to one problem of the rotary engine.  The problem,
as mentioned in some earlier postings, is that the torque of the rotating
block makes the plane's maneuvering qualities asymmetrical.  The solution
was to make the engine in two parts that rotated opposite ways!
Needless to say, this monstrosity was soon found insufficiently reliable.
