I think the wasp engines will not be any better that what we have today.
In the first presentation there where many ( in lack of better words) stupid claimes. F.eks: When the outlet of the crankshaft is made in an angle, like in the new wasp .12, the conrod will not be covering the hole erea of the crank outlet.
What bullshi...!
As long as the outlet of the crankshaft is in the back of the crank, it has to cover the outlet some time in one revelution. There is no other way to do it!
I thnik that Wasp is only a hype and will not do much to either fuelconsumption or power. I have a hard time seeing that it is a huge revelution in engine design. I am a car mechanick and there have not been many new things to four strokes in the last 100 years, in the mechanic erea.
PLEASE EXCUSE MY POOR ENGLISH!
