However, I did get far enough to hear the narrator say that since Chrysler no one has approached the idea of a turbine for land use, just in the air.

Meet Andy Granatelli.
Watch the whole thing, it' not a turbine

it's a four stroke gas engine w/ no reciprocating parts, just 2 parallel rotors, no apex seals like Wankel needed. It can be scaled up, 4 rotors =320hp, 6 rotors =480hp etc.

80% thermal efficiency is amazing
