the engine in the OP is a radial engine

Technically it is called a Rotary engine. Look it up on wikipedia.

Airplanes generally use them.

there is some truth to that.
in world war 1 the airplanes used radials in which the engine rotated (instead of the shaft, which remained fixed)

most planes these days use a lateral configuration eg. six cylenders with three on opposed sides

In World War 1 and World War 2 radial engines for airplanes were popular because they were easy to maintain and service, because of their simplicity. They were mainly used in World War 2 by the navy for these reasons.

They aren't (or weren't) more widely used because they're large size made them difficult to make aerodynamic. Although this doesn't seem to have hurt planes like the F4U much.

It's only a rotary engine if the cylinders are spinning (or it's a Wankel engine). As they are not spinning here, it's radial.

Mazda rx7 and 8 use the Wankel rotary engine. Lighter, simpler (MUCH fewer moving parts), more powerful than ordinary engine.

They also used it in the Cosmo, and most cars they sold before the 1970s...
