The Thrust of Radial Engines

The Thrust of Radial Engines ALTHOUGH handicapped by a large frontal area, the radial aircooled engine has maintained its popularity up to the present. Recent developments indicate that the type is capable of a substantial increase in effective thrusthorsepower, which may help to continue its present advantage. This paper is devoted to a discussion of the present status of the development of radial aircooled petrol engines with references to the trend of possible future progress. I believe that this type has a definite place in our present aircraft, but I do not claim that it is superior for all types of service. Whether or not the popular preference for this type will continue must be left to the future. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Aircraft Engineering and Aerospace Technology Emerald Publishing

Abstract

ALTHOUGH handicapped by a large frontal area, the radial aircooled engine has maintained its popularity up to the present. Recent developments indicate that the type is capable of a substantial increase in effective thrusthorsepower, which may help to continue its present advantage. This paper is devoted to a discussion of the present status of the development of radial aircooled petrol engines with references to the trend of possible future progress. I believe that this type has a definite place in our present aircraft, but I do not claim that it is superior for all types of service. Whether or not the popular preference for this type will continue must be left to the future.
