#RadialEngine

A very rare guest, a restored original 1936 vintage Bücker Jungmeister biplane, with an even rarer engine, an original Siemens-Halske Sh-14 7-cylinder radial engine.

I have many hobbies and likes, many are old smelly noisy things so it pleases me greatly to see a Hawker Tempest flying again. Last flight of one of these was over 60 years ago! The mighty Bristol Centaurus roars again!

Max Holste MH1521 Broussard This fine example of the Broussard still carries its Armee de l'Air markings , but is on the British Register. Conceived as an artillery observation, light transport or utility aircraft it served in many of the same roles as the Canadian DHC-2 Beaver. Indeed, it looks just like a twin-tailed Beaver! Powered by the ubiquitous Pratt & Whitney R-985 Wasp Junior radial engine of 450hp, was a rugged type that saw service in the Algerian War. #AlgerianWar #France #Algeria #radialengine #military #aircraft #avgeek #Britain #PrattandWhitney #DHC2 #Beaver #utilityaircraft #aviation #Canadian ##WaspJunior #MaxHolste #Broussard

Boeing-Stearman PT-17 . This primary trainer was one of the mainstays of the US flight training programme during WW2. Rugged, with a steel frame fuselage, and powered by a Continental R670 radial of 220hp, many examples were used for 'crop dusting' after the War. This aircraft is seen at Plymouth Municipal Airport, Massachusetts #Massachusetts #USA #Plymouth #biplane #trainer #WW2 #cropdusting #Continentalradial #radialengine #aircraft #avgeek #Boeing #Stearman #aviation #PT17

A very Happy New Year to all my friends on #Mastodon and elsewhere. May the forthcoming year be full of joy! Here we see a unique survivor, a classic 1920s biplane design from Hawker, the Tomtit biplane trainer for the RAF. The last Tomtit flies with the Shuttleworth Trust Collection at Old Warden. #aviationphotography #photography #RoyalAirForce #Hawker #Tomtit #biplane #trainer #Mongoose #radialengine #aircraft #ShuttleworthTrust #OldWarden #UK #HappyNewYear #2023 #avgeek #aviation #museum

Electric “Radial” RC Aircraft Motor

For a long time radial aircraft engines, with their distinctive cylinder housings arranged in a circle, were a common sight on aircraft. As an experiment, [KendinYap], wanted to see if he could combine 3 small DC motors into a usable RC aircraft motor, effectively creating an electric radial engine.

The assembly consists of three "180" type brushed DC motors, mounted radially in a 3D printed casing. A 3D printed conical gear is attached to each motor shaft, which drives a single output gear and shaft mounted in the center with two bearings. The gear ratio is 3:1. A variety of propellers can be mounted using 3D printed adaptors. As a baseline, [KendinYap] tested a single motor on a scale with a 4.25-inch propeller on a scale, which produced 170 g of thrust at 21500 RPM. Once integrated into the engine housing, the three motors produced 490 g of thrust at 5700 RPM, with a larger propeller. Three independent motors and propellers should theoretically provide 510 g of thrust, so there are some mechanical losses when combining 3 of them in a single assembly. However, it should still be capable of powering a small RC plane. It's also not impossible that a different propeller could yield better results.

While there is no doubt that it's no match for a brushless RC motor, testing random ideas just to see if it's possible is usually fun and an excellent learning experience. We've seen some crazy flyable RC power plants, including a cordless drill, a squirrel-cage blower, and a leaf blower.
