If you want to have a quiet rotary powered plane, you need to get
someone in Australia
to talk with Ian Beadle to see what he has done with his RV6 powered with a Renesis.
This plane is quiet! I don’t know where Bindoon is located….
Bindoon Western Australia

You just need to fly at Mach 1 so you stay ahead of the sound.

Can anyone report on the effectiveness of the tangential muffler in
actual real world situations? (As I recall Al G. is running a tangential
muffler on his Velocity.) I ask because I'm in the process of building
one for my Lancair with the hopes that it will work better than the DNA muffler
that I'm currently running. I think it will work better at reducing the
noise level in the cabin, but at what cost to power? Hopefully, this will
save me the cost of a new Zulu ANR headset. Comments appreciated.

Hey gang!
I came across a rare find this weekend.
Any serious rotorhead will certainly appreciate this.
Bluelines from 1973 of the General Motors Wankel Rotary
engine.
I just put them up on eBay
