Abstract
A lightweight rotary engine is provided that comprises a structurally efficient, lightweight rotor housing. Disposed in the wall of the rotor housing is a combustion zone thermal barrier insert. The thermal barrier insert is comprised of a material with low thermal conductivity. The use of the insert allows the rotor housing to be constructed from higher strength material such as steel or titanium.
