I have seen a Gnome rotary engine cira 1910 and was quite a good engine except the only way to slow down the engine was to turn the spark off and on. this was hard on the engine and most were discontinued after WW1. they never got it right (or wright) and went to the scrap heap in favor of the more convental radial engine we have today. But they did run very cool.
