I think this just confuses the issue Jim.

I appreciate there is a rotary engine in the aircraft sense that has

     You'd be very wrong comparing our engines to "Rotory" aircraft engines. The "Rotory" Aircraft engine has a crankshaft fixed to the airframe (does not rotate) and the crankcase (cylinders and propeller attached) rotates around the crankshaft.
