If you think that is wacky in a car, try it in a plane



The idea behind rotary engines was that it enhanced cooling, and I believe the oil system used centrifugal force. Downside was the pronounced gyroscopic effects that coupled climbing and yawing making for interesting handling.

By the way, no throttles on WW1 rotaries. Just ignition cuts.
