9 Of The Largest Piston Aircraft Engines Ever

flying God more efficient with popularization of jet engines but a beauty of a large piston aircraft engine will never be beaten they existed in many different forms with many different numbers of cylinders or even a rotor is in case of a Wankel engines but only those largest were able to climb this high onto the list shreds on a SAT to the aah 82 was sourced from the ninth on - Watson m62 which was a licensed right engine technically the age 82 had American roots first with carburetors later with direct fuel injection installed many different versions were built including a single arrow seven cylinder or a four or 28 cylinder with eighty 2.4 liters and 4,000 horsepower [Applause] right our 2,600 cyclone 14 boosted by a single-stage two-speed supercharger and a strong bare carburetor the twin cyclone was a very widely used powerplant with more than 50,000 units produced the design was air-cooled with dry sunburn sodium filled exhaust valves used in single up to four engine aircraft dimer bends db6 afraid following the introduction of the new DB 603 engine which was obviously meant for aircraft only Mercedes adapted the unit for the land speed record breaker the t-80 as well the same year the car had 3,000 horsepower and should have gone up to 750 kilometers power but regardless it was the largest aviation v12 during the Third Reich [Applause] [Applause] Pratt and Whitney are $2,800 as the first u.s. 18-cylinder it was much smaller than a French 18-cylinder the 54.2 need to know marijuana 18 l but had significantly more power there was also a water methanol ejection during hard acceleration to prevent detonation and was used in terms of different aircraft MacEwan am 48 the am 48 was a further development of the am 45 designed for low altitude ground attacks with a ten-minute war emergency power mode this meant that the engine made more power when necessary like over boosting cars besides it was interesting that while one Bank had a 190 millimeter strugglin the other one with articulated controls worked with a stroke long 100 96.7 millimeter [Music] Bristol Centaurus based on a mechanical structure of the 1918 Bristol Jupiter the Centaurus was made as a twin nine cylinder instead of the seven cylinder layout as its smaller brother they Hercules it's stroke was also increased and into speed superchargers and air viously valves with four ports per sleeve it was one of the most powerful World War two aircraft [Music] right are 4350 duplex cyclone power-wise the duplex cyclone was rated between 2200 to Firday 700 horsepower for production applications which made it the most powerful American aircraft engine of its time there was a channel even's downdraft carburetor and interestingly they sought an experimental 2006 t-72 22 cylinder version of it the are 40 90 cycle 22 [Music] it's on the h73 another Soviet Union with brightspace is the age 73 unlike the age 82 there was a Tuesday supercharging system first with a pair of parallel turbos and then a second stage in form of single speed supercharger with a maximum boost of one and a half bar more than fourteen thousands of them were built powering a variety of aircraft including a number of Tupelo Pratt and Whitney are 4360 was major the was major is the largest thing of the wasp series and was also very different than anything before edited four rows of cylinders it was really huge with up to fifty six power plugs and a twin-turbo in the top spec the layout was semi helical for a more effective cooling but it came too late to be applied into war machines it's powered civil planes like the Saab 9000 [Music] to end this list the Leica makes our 77-55 is really work to note as it was a 127 litre large with 36 cylinders in four rows initio testing found 5,000 horsepower but Air Force soon lost interest and the project was shut down I believe you liked the video since you got as far his very end and I wish you a great day
