Curiously, the rudder was used only to compensate for engine Torque.
These higher powered rotary engined aircraft must have been monsters to control at the best of times. As a new rotary engined type in 1917 it surely must have been doomed from the start.

Does anyone know when or what the last series production rotary engined type was? Was anyone building rotary engined aircraft after 1918?
