Gnome is the original rotary engine

The crankcase does NOT rotate. It's fixed to the same position, hence the cylinders rotate around that axle.
In a radial the cylinders stay in the same position and the crankshaft rotates. In the radial the exact opposite applies. Look it up on Google, there are some nice explanations.

You should team up with someone to build a replica airplane of the period and make that thing fly. That would be a star attraction at an airshow!

The Gnome is a the real rotary, i think the rotary you mean is the Wankel with rotative piston (or rotor) engine...
-
How much cooler would it be to have this hunk of metal flying around the engine bay of a car than a Wankel rotary?
-
Correction, I meant the crankshaft doesn't rotate.

quick question, how does the fuel get pumped into the chamber with the engine spinning like that?
ommie299 1 month ago
@ommie299 The crown of the piston has an atmospheric valve that allows the fuel/air mixture to come through from the crankcase. The crankcase is supplied from the tube in its center via the carburetor on the aft end. See kozaero.com for more details.
