In 1937, at the behest of the United States Army Air Corps, the Allison Engine Company agreed to design and build a large-displacement high-power aircraft engine. The resulting V-3420 was essentially a pair of 12-cylinder Allison V-1710 engines mated to a common crankcase with a 30° angle between the inner cylinder banks.
Tom Mueller became TRW vice president of propulsion. In 2002, Elon Musk asked Mueller to join him as a founding member of SpaceX. Technology lessons from the Low Cost Pintle Engine project were used in the development of the SpaceX Merlin engine. [6] [7] Mueller joined SpaceX in 2002, becoming its head of propulsion, along with other TRW ...
