MidWest AE series : ウィキペディア英語版 | MidWest AE series
The MidWest AE series were lightweight liquid-cooled single- and twin-rotor Wankel engines with dual ignition for light aircraft, formerly produced by Mid-West Engines Ltd. at Staverton Airport, Gloucestershire, UK. ==BSA origins==
This engine had its origins at the BSA Umberslade Hall research unit in Birmingham. David Garside, a BSA engineer, designed an air-cooled twin-rotor motorcycle engine that was based on the Fichtel & Sachs motor in the Hercules motorcycle.〔The Wankel Rotary Engine: A History By John B. Hege page 137, ISBN 978-0-7864-2905-9〕 Wankel engines run very hot, so Garside gave this air-cooled motor interior cooling air that was drawn first through the rotors and into a large plenum before entering the combustion chambers via the carburetors.〔"Cycle World" magazine February 1971〕 Only 100 air-cooled Norton Classics were produced. The later Norton Commander had liquid-cooling, but with the same air-cooling of the rotors as the Classic. These Norton engines had a total-loss oiling system, just like an oil-injected 2-stroke engine.〔
