72modeler Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 (edited) I just stumbled upon this engine that I never knew existed, while looking for XB-42 details, and it was a very interesting article, so I am posting a link to it below for any of you that might also find it of interest. A little too late in its development, I guess, but would certainly have been a very effective powerplant for a twin or four-engined aircraft, like say a PM-1 Mercator, PBM-5, C-82 B-29, or C-97.

KRK4m Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Shame, Brother... You've seen (and even touched) a 11-cylinder Sh,III radial several times at the Polish Aviation Museum in Krakow. I'm afraid some basic lecithin therapy would be appropriate Cheers Michael 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
