The radial engine would only work in an air plane with the propeller. There is no way, you could put a clutch, and trans to it. Also they ran wide open all the time. The only way to throttle it was to cut the ignition. If, you ever see an old biplane in a movie with one in it, you will notice when it is landing the engine will cut on, and off.
The cars had a rotary engine. Suzuki also had a motorcycle with a rotary in the 70's. A completely different engine.
