A further advantage of the Wankel engine for use in aircraft is that a Wankel engine generally has a smaller frontal area than a piston engine of equivalent power, allowing a more aerodynamic nose to be designed around the engine.

Developments for cars Mazda and NSU signed a study contract to develop the Wankel engine in 1961 and competed to bring the first Wankel-powered automobile to market.

In a design using a Wankel supercharger on a Wankel engine, the supercharger is twice the size of the engine.

A reciprocating piston engine with equal power to a Wankel will be approximately twice the displacement.

As a further advantage, running a Wankel engine at a constant speed gives greater engine life.

A Wankel aero-engine spends most of its operational time at high power outputs, with little idling.

A Wankel rotary engine has stronger flows of air-fuel mixture and a longer operating cycle than a reciprocating engine, realizing concomitantly thorough mixing of hydrogen and air.

Because of their small size, weight, low vibration and high power to weight ratio, Wankel rotary engines are used in many large UAVs.

But both soon fell out with each other, because Wankel tried to put a stronger emphasis on military training, whereas Wagner wished for the Hitler Youth to be a primarily political organization.
