Good ol' rotaries... when you look at it, they were quite efficient. The Wankel, on the other hand, was a real bag of snakes, but one must admire Mazda for pursuing the design.

Many German aircraft ran a Junkers Jumo double-opposed diesel for power... Let's complicate things here: two cranks, 12 pistons, no cylinder head. They were used in flying boats, and one really doesn't want an unreliable engine in that application!
