Anyone wants to know more about this stuff, I recommend going to your local small airport. I mean small, no tower , maybe a place to get a burger and pay for fuel.... there can be lot of old vets floating around and don't mind telling a story or 2 and possibly getting a ride. Trust me these guys wanna go fly around the patch , but it's like a dirt bike , nobody wants to go alone it's more fun with someone. How do I know? My dads retired and has a hangar at a small airport. There's all kinds of neat stuff to be seen and characters to talk to. Nothin beats that radial sound, you can hear the size , but they sound like they aren't even trying hard. like a huge giant that blows down a forest with one breath.

@lifuranph.d.9440 5 лет назад

Yes...God's Blessings on your Dad and all your Family. I know of such a place in Nevada...I can't remember the name...or the City. I do remember the Wednesday Special though. It was Pigs Knuckles and Sauerkraut. My Father and my Grandfather's favorites. WWI and WWII Aviators. Both of them, so very long gone now. I had a dream once. I gave both of them a spin in my Helo over Nha Trang...it was just a dream. Today, another dream. Power out. Roter on the edge of the Red. At least the Sea is warm. This dream was my past. If no Wars, we might fly only kites now, but I would miss the Radial's sounds and smells. Are there Radials in Heaven?

@ghshrksidhc5460 4 года назад

You know, not every human being lives in US or whatever place you are talking about, here in Poland we don't have that stuff. In Warsaw there are 2 big airports and that's it, no more. So sadly none of what you sad can aply to me, epic.

They are so wonderful engines that you can not name just 10 engines. In my opinion, it is missing: P & W R4360 Wasp Major, P & W R2800, Shvetesov ASH62 and Bristol Centaurus.

Pratt & Whitney R, Bristol Centaurus, BMW 801, Shvetsov ASh, Gnome-Rhône, Nakajima Sakae, Hitachi Amakaze, Bristol Mercury, Fiat A, were one of the most popular radial engines during WW2

@rrknl5187 6 лет назад

Back in the late 70s - early 80s, I flew DC-7s as air tankers at forest fires. They had 4 R3350s. These engines were designed in the mid 1930s, the first one ran in 1937. There were no computers back then or even calculators. If close was ok, you used a slide rule. If it had to be exact, you did the actual math on paper. The ones I remember were 3400 HP for takeoff, 2900 HP continuous. The props were about 14' in diameter and the gear ratio was 7/16 prop/engine. They had power recovery turbines, one turbine for 6 cylinders, 3 total. These were basically turbines with slanted blades that were connected to the crankshaft via oil couplings. They caused very little back pressure but added added 400 - 500 extra HP @ takeoff power. They were also a royal bear to work on........ They had superchargers, 2 speed. Low speed for under 12,000', high speed for over 12,000'. Tankers are almost never higher than 12,000' so we always used low speed. They used 115/145 avgas. Purple gas...... They would run on 100/130 but the maximum takeoff power was reduced to 2800 HP. They used 60 weight oil in winter and 80 in summer. They would burn a couple of gallons of oil an hour. If it was more than 4 - 5 per hour, it was time to look into why. On a hot summer day, a typical takeoff manifold pressure would be pretty close to 60". Though I started them hundreds of times, it was always a thrill to hit the mags and hear them come to life........

@arodrigues2843 6 лет назад

RR KNL The best comment so far. Allways loving to learn from those who really know it, and above all the people "with the hands on the job". Thanks for your interesting lesson, Sir.!!! Kudos to you.!!!

@dukecraig2402 5 лет назад

Last I heard they're still using them although I believe that the FAA restricts them to around 60% power because of the age and condition of the engines, they were the engines used in the B29 Superfortress, but the Pratt&Whitney R-4360-51VDT Wasp Major is the king, 4,300 HP, after WW2 they developed a bomber from the B29 called the B50, the Wright engines were constant problems in the B29 from day one and by 1944 they started work on fitting the 4 row P&W Wasp Major on an experimental plane called the YB44 which was a production B29 that the engines were fit on as a test bed and developed into the B50 after the war. That being said, I'd give anything to see a P47 do a low level full power War Emergency Power pass, but considering the age and scarity of them I ain't holding my breath.

@kevinmcfadin2141 4 года назад

RE KNL thanks for the info . It,s great hearing from acuale people who flew and worked on these aircraft. I love the radials awsome piece of machinery.

@johno9507 4 года назад

Power recovery turbines are known by mechanics as 'Parts Recovery Turbines' due to the increased maintenance they cause.

@scootergeorge9576 6 лет назад

The B-29 used a the turbo supercharged R-3350. The Turbo compound used an exhaust turbine to route power directly to the crankshaft. 3 units per engine producing apx. 150 HP each. I worked on this engine while assigned to the Navy patrol squadron VP-65 equipped with the SP-2H (P2V-7) Neptune.

Great video! One of the best, if not the best, most throughly researched and well presented and made videos on tge subject of aircraft radial engines, even touching breifly on the rare car varients, that ive ever seen. As radial engines are my absolute favorite, and radial piston powered aircraft of all types--with of course the Corsair being my all time favorite as with most people--ive seen alot of material on the subject so by saying this is tge best ive seen so far then it really means something. I not only hit the like button but also subscribed on the strength of this video alone...great job and i hope to see more of this quality of video in the future. I love to learn so im hoping your videos will take me into new territories!! Keep up the great work please...

@Tom-Lahaye 7 лет назад

Love the sound of the Bristol Hercules with its sleeve valves. A point to note is that some of the Japanese and German warbirds that are airworthy have P&W or Wright engines instead of their original engines, because these planes mostly were complete wrecks before restoration, in these cases the original engine was often beyond repair. As Japan and Germany has to destroy all remaining weaponary after the war, including stocks of spares, there are not many original engines left, just the ones in crashed planes, there were however plenty of unused new American and British engines left after the war, and there is still a good availability of these engines now, used and maybe even with very low running hours.

What still amazes me is that these things actually worked! They made planes fly and were quite robust and reliable! Only recently did I find out that some Copters had radial piston engines! Like that old Sikorski beast! Bloody thing sounded like a 1962 Chevy I6 when started cold! Smoked like a muvah too! But once heated up, purred like a big Cat and easily powered the Copter into the air!!! My fav Airplane Engine, though is still the RR Merlin V12! I've seen 1 or 2 boats with 2 Merlins! Just incredible! Today, Mercury and others are making V8, V10 and V12 4 stroke outboards! Sorry! Getting off topic! There's also this Russian Copter, twin rotors and twin radial engines! Smokes like a sumbitch when started cold! But the little beast flies like a bird!!

Nakajima Sakae was a impoved version from the Gnome & Rhone 14K (rights was sale to Japan before the war, close to the G&R 14N who fit on the Bloch 152-155), same thing with the V12 Klimov engine from the yak 1 and 3, who was based on the Hispano Suiza 12Y fit on Morane 406 and Dewoitine D520... The last Bristol Hercules (2040hp) was built from the SNECMA in the 60' for the Nord 2501 Noratlas military transport aircraft.

I think the surviving Mitsubishi "Zero" A6M fighter aircraft shown are actually powered by American Pratt&Whitney R-1830 engines, through lack of original Nakaijama Sakae powerplants.
