Nope, a rotary aircraft engine is one where the crankshaft does not turn and the engine spins around it. The prop is connected to the engine block. Notice how the cylinders and block spin on this one. th-cam.com/video/mjpfIXyWEnw/w-d-xo.html
@EdwardKrapovnitskyThanks for pointing that out, it got me to do some looking. I found this page on wiki talking about diesels in aircraft, it's very interesting. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_diesel_engine
I was thinking the same thing...although a lot of the motors had no cooling fins either....liquid cooled? P-51 Mustang did pretty good for itself being liquid cooled....along with the Spitfire, Hurricane, P38, Mosquito, typhoon/tempest, and Yak
That PW 4360 is kind of like two engines of a B-17, stuck together. A MONSTER. The B-36 Peacemaker had 6 of these, in pusher configuration, plus 4 jet engines. The "Spruce Goose" sported 8. (the 4360 part is the displacement... in cubic inches)
@@M_Duhamel correct sir. Pratt designed the 1830 with two rows of 7 instead of Wrights single row of 9 that gave a more overall compact lay-out with about the same amount of available horsepower, and in some cases more. Fourteen cylinders instead of 9 also gave you better redundancy in the event you had cylinders fail in flight.

@@joewoodchuck3824 At aircraft speeds, that's a lot of air! Where it didn't work was in the old VW microbus, at least in the desert southwest. Best vehicle ever to drive, but I couldn't afford to either park it for 4 months of the year, or replace the engine every two years.

As someone that has worked on air-cooled radials quite a bit, especially the multi-rowed, it saddens me to see these magnificent masterpieces of engine technology ran on static display stands without some form of a cooling fan on the output shaft. These engines get VERY hot quickly and can be damaged just as quickly without proper airflow over the cylinders.
The thing about big radial engines is good reliability and the lack of a liquid cooling system. Radials are kind of a brute force solution to an engineering problem. As an example, the engine in the P47 was able to deliver massive amounts of power with its turbo supercharger, and survive combat so well it was one of the most survivable combat aircraft of WW2: in some respects one of the best aircraft - because it allowed its pilots to survive and learn from their combat experiences. It was also a very expensive machine to build, but that in part was it size; the jug was big, which allowed it to have a comfortable air-conditioned cockpit in later versions. All in part possible due to its huge engine.
I've always wondered at the US preference for radials compared to the inline engines seemingly favoured by our UK builders. They definitely sound different, i especially love the way B25s struggle into life, magnificent ❤. I like how the Russians not only copied the us engines, they also copied the Dakota 😂

These engines need a prop out front for cooling if you are going to run them for more than a couple of seconds. They will overheat quickly.
I was thinking the same thing...although a lot of the motors had no cooling fins either....liquid cooled? P-51 Mustang did pretty good for itself being liquid cooled....along with the Spitfire, Hurricane, P38, Mosquito, typhoon/tempest, and Yak
I am sure these guys know what they are doing.
Not being surounded by a cowling gives you quite a bit more time to run without the prop.

how many years ago?? I was in 1976 HT or DC
Was the C-130 originally powered by radial engines? I thought it was always turboprops.

I think it was the trim tabs that had been moved to the right along with the main rudder as it turned onto the taxiway.
