Production radial engines

Postby Ivan » Sat Sep 03, 2005 9:40 am

Am i right in my assumption that the only in-production radials at the moment are the PZL ASh-62 and the Ivchenko M-14?

Rotec in Australia still produce radial engines, as appears do several companies for microlights...

I mean big radials...

Those ultralights ones are two stroke ones and not comparable with a M-14R (450HP aerobatic engine for  Su-26 and Su-31)

I know what you're saying... ;) :)

Big radials, no - I guess there are enough big American radials available to allow easy refurbishment and/or spares reclamation. Nothing (modern) in production really in the west uses radials anyway...

PS - the Rotec one is quite a nice little 110Hp 4-Stroke ;D

Thanx, Paul- that is extra-cool; a tandem FlyBaby with a 150-horse radial on the nose!!
Let's see... I think I've got room to build one here, if I lower the wings out the window... just have to rob a bank or something for the money, and...
;D
