Dr. Felix Heinrich Wankel (1902–1988) was a German inventor known for developing the Wankel engine. Born in Lahr, Germany, he had no formal education but taught himself technical subjects and conceived the idea of a rotary engine in 1924. After conflicts with the Nazis and being imprisoned, he contributed to aerospace technologies during WWII. He began developing the rotary engine at NSU in 1951, leading to the first working prototype in 1957. The engine was later licensed and improved in the US, ultimately being used in Mazda's RX series cars.
