  2. Radial engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radial_engine

    Radial engine in a biplane. The radial engine is a reciprocating type internal combustion engine configuration in which the cylinders "radiate" outward from a central crankcase like the spokes of a wheel. It resembles a stylized star when viewed from the front, and is called a "star engine" in some other languages.

    In previous years, some quite large cars such as the DKW and Saab 92, had two-cylinder or two-stroke engines. Radial aircraft engines had from three to 28 cylinders; examples include the small Kinner B-5 and the large Pratt & Whitney R-4360. Larger examples were built as multiple rows.

    1919 Napier Lion II aircraft engine with three cylinder banks. Any design of motor/engine,be it a V or a boxer can be called an "in-line" if it's mounted in-line with the frame/chassis and in-line with the direction of travel of the vehicle.When the motor/engine is across the frame/chassis this is called a TRANSVERSE motor.Cylinder arrangement is not in the description of how the motor/engine ...

  5. Rotary engine - Wikipedia

    Another motorcycle with a rotary engine was Charles Redrup's 1912 Redrup Radial, which was a three-cylinder 303 cc rotary engine fitted to a number of motorcycles by Redrup. In 1904 the Barry engine , also designed by Redrup, was built in Wales: a rotating 2-cylinder boxer engine weighing 6.5 kg [ 3 ] was mounted inside a motorcycle frame.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Inline_radial_engines

    An unusual cylinder layout: a multi-row radial engine, where inline cylinder banks are shared between rows. Many of these engines are liquid-cooled, which is otherwise rare and difficult to achieve for the usual radial engine, with staggered banks.

    Generally, the PS style carburetors are used on opposed piston engines found on light aircraft and helicopters. The engine can be mounted in the nose, tail, wing or mounted internally on the airframe. The engine can be mounted vertically as well as horizontally. [16] PD style carburetors are for inline and radial engines from 900 to 1900 cubic ...

    Pratt & Whitney developed the R-985 Wasp Junior as a smaller version of the R-1340 Wasp to compete in the market for medium-sized aircraft engines. Like its larger brother, the Wasp Junior was an air-cooled, nine-cylinder radial, with its power boosted by a gear-driven single-speed centrifugal type supercharger.

  9. Anzani 3-cylinder fan engines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anzani_3-cylinder_fan_engines

    Anzani "Y" radial engine. Anzani was aware of the weight cost of the counterweight in the fan configuration and by December 1909 he had a symmetric 120° three-cylinder radial engine running. One example was a 3.1 litre (186 cu in) unit producing 22 kW (30 hp) at 1,300 rpm. [5]
