engines

I visited the polish aviation museum in krakow yesterday and I saw the only surviving argus as 5 engine. There It said that there were plans to install the engine in a giant plane, but this project was canceled. Are there any info or/and drawings of that plane? Thanks in advance

I'm considering Kaiserreich-esque Alt Hist timeline where Canada + a bunch of British exile engineers have to build aero engines -- for speed of development, reliability, and simplicity they just develop the Bristol Mercury/Pegasus, avoid sleeve valves and stick with poppet valves, and also go...

Hi everyone, I have uncovered a few documents on the development of the Mtsubishi ZF and ZG series engines. The 10ZF was used on the Type 74 tank, the 6ZF on the Type 75 SPH and the 4ZF on Type 73 APC and derivatives. The 8ZG mentionned in the related document is a predecessor to the 10ZG...

One of the engines in https://www.secretprojects.co.uk/threads/vought-advanced-interceptor-studies-sami-adli-hsv.128/post-156873 is not like the others. It has a unique name, and if you look closely, there is more detail in the ramjet nozzle mechanism than on the others. I believe this engine...

Hi, i am relatively new, and I've been lurking around for quite some time but finally this is my first post :) It is widely known that stealth aircraft use serpentine intakes with the purpose of reducing IR signature, scatter radar waves and also preventing engine faces from creating additional...

The RB.432 is an unbuilt design for a turbofan in the 18,000 lbf/80 kN thrust class, for airliners of up to 150 passengers. This project ran in the late 1970s. The Fokker Super F28 brochure devotes one page to the engine. It's a two-shaft turbofan with a bypass ratio of 4.8. Ultimately the...

Connecticut-based company LiquidPiston is developing a portable generator for the US Army that uses its X-Engine, a new type of rotary engine that'll deliver as much power as the Army's current-gen-set at one-fifth the size. The engine is a non-Wankel rotary engine. View...

True, not aviation but we're all petrol-heads here, right? If you are, especially the FERRARI fans amongst you then you will be well familiar with the name Gioacchino Colombo one of the great Italian engine designers. But of course, they all get old and eventually retire. ....well-lll, maybe not...
