Even though some "revolutionary" designs are highlighted once in a while, I wouldn't hold my breath for the free-piston or for any rotary engine by now. Apart from the ressurging of the opposed-piston layout, which had been highly favored by German aircraft manufacturers during the interwar period, there are other concepts such as the real Atkinson cycle and the Scuderi cycle that might become more relevant in the next years.
