Need to stop equating the rotary engine with a piston engine...
It's just not going to work.

If we take the definition of "displacement" for a piston engine, it's the volume displacement of combustion / intake / exhaust / etc. cycle given for two crankshaft revolutions.

If you try and apply this to the rotary engine, one side rotor is in the middle of one of the cycles.
Do you count this as a "half"?
That really doesn't make sense...
