Rotary maybe had slight edge in this, some 40-50 years ago

Bare engine may appear compact and light, but whole package is what counts. Engine, intake and exhaust manifolds, cooling system, muffler system, it all counts.

We canīt just say that certain engine is compact and light, when all needed accessories through their bulk and added weight doesnīt make it such viable powerplant.

I would look for advantages of wankel rotary elsewhere
