* While at lower speeds, air-breathing engines are very efficient, the efficiency ( Isp ) and thrust levels of air-breathing jet engines drop considerably at high speed ( above Mach 5 – 10 depending on the engine ) and begin to approach that of rocket engines or worse.

While a four-stroke piston engine makes one combustion stroke per cylinder for every two rotations of the crankshaft ( that is, one-half power stroke per crankshaft rotation per cylinder ), each combustion chamber in the Wankel generates one combustion stroke per driveshaft rotation, i. e. one power stroke per rotor orbital revolution and three power strokes per rotor rotation.

While this approach does increase the complexity of the eccentric shaft design, it has been used successfully in the Mazda's production three-rotor 20B-REW engine, as well as many low volume production race engines.

While the car did not prove to be a major concern, the Peugeot engine proved to be heavy and unreliable.

; Efficiency: While there are losses in the charge / discharge cycle and in the conversion of electricity to motive power, Rutter points out that most electric boats need only about 1. 5 kW or 2 hp to cruise at 5 mph, a common maximum river speed and that a 30 hp petrol or diesel engine producing only 2 hp is considerably more inefficient.

While the NERVA engine was projected to weigh about 6, 803 kg, the final STNP offered just over 1 / 3 the thrust from an engine of only 1, 650 kg by improving the I < small >< sub > sp </ sub ></ small > to between 930 and 1000 seconds.

While modernist critical theory ( as described above ) concerns itself with “ forms of authority and injustice that accompanied the evolution of industrial and corporate capitalism as a political-economic system ,” postmodern critical theory politicizes social problems “ by situating them in historical and cultural contexts, to implicate themselves in the process of collecting and analyzing data, and to relativize their findings ” ( Lindlof & Taylor, 2002, p. 52 ).
