Wwi Lerhone Rotary Engine Flickr Photo Sharing An 80 horsepower (60 kw) rated le rhône 9c, a typical rotary engine of wwi. the copper pipes carry the fuel air mixture from the crankcase to the cylinder heads acting collectively as an intake manifold. this le rhône 9c installed on a sopwith pup fighter aircraft at the fleet air arm museum. The lighter engine weight meant that rotary powered airplanes tended to be lighter overall and more maneuverable than planes with water cooled inline or “vee” engines. eddie rickenbacker, america’s top wwi ace, had an encounter early in his career that illustrated his rotary powered nieuport 28’s maneuverability versus a heavier fighter.
