Bob,
A rotary engine had the crankshaft connected to the firewall and the crankcase rotated. What you may be asking about is a radial. Popular Mechanics has a nice article about aviation milestones including engines in this months issue. I checked their web site, we'll have to wait til next month to see it there. BTW: there was only one throw on the crankshaft of a radial. "Bob" wrote in message om... Hello; I spent a fair amount of time searching, but just cannot find any. I am trying to locate pictures that show the crankshaft arrangement(s), and how they work for WWII style rotary engines. e.g., the Wasp series by P&W. Might anyone be able to point me to a site with a few pictures ? Very curious about how the crankshaft was arranged so as not to interfere with the piston rods, etc. Thanks, Bob |
