Aerospace Technic and Technology

The article discusses the main directions of development of creating new modern and improving existing rotary piston engines. The need for a systematic analysis of existing similar engine designs is established to separate and systematize their advantages and disadvantages at the design stage. As an analysis of the design and manufacturing technology of the existing most promising rotary piston engines, turbocompressor-type circuits with a movable cylinder block is considered, the engines in which the combustion takes place outside the working cylinder, the drum-piston type with movable combustion chambers, rotary expanders, etc. It is established that the structure of the housing of rotary piston engines with an internal cylindrical surface, in which the rotor with working cylinders is located, allows the creation of economical and compact engines. This structure of the engines allows you to reduce vibration and make them safer to use. A comparison of the mechanisms of motion of existing rotary piston engines. Based on the analysis of existing schemes and the design of modern rotary piston engines, a sample of a new design 12 RPE-4.4/1.75 rotary piston engine is designed. The design and basic parameters of a new model of the 12 RPE-4.4/1.75 rotary piston engine with adjustable spool air distribution are presented. The engine has twelve evenly spaced cylinders, provides a balanced engine, and the ability to start at any position of the rotor. The design of the engine designed provides for a central control cam shaft, the rotation of which allows you to adjust the valve timing and engine operation due to the degree of filling of the cylinder in a fairly wide range. A feature of the design of the engine is also that the control cam allows you to change the direction of rotation of the central rotor. It was found that the design of the crank mechanism of the 12 RPE-4.4/1.75 engine is simple in structure and production technology, as well as more reliable compared to similar existing rotary piston engines.
