In the 1940s and 1950s, ground crews stood by with large, wheeled fire extinguishers during aircraft engine starts primarily because piston radial engines were prone to specific fire risks. These ...

Repeated cycles of searing combustion heat alternating with cool incoming air and fuel, extreme load reversal, thrust forces that slam the pistons into the cylinder wallsits quite amazing that ...

The Hydre-Mac direct-drive radial-piston motor handles variable-speed applications. The low-speed, high-torque motor, featuring a cam-lobe design, employs a MacTaggart Scott heavy-duty motor design.

A new range of miniature positive displacement pumps, which feature an innovative radial piston design that allows for self-priming at altitude and reduce cavitation, have been introduced by miniature ...

Radial piston pump is now compatible with Skydrol and Hyjet, meeting the needs of the aviation industry Responding to the needs of the aviation manufacturing industry, Moog has developed a new version ...

If you look at aircraft from the Second World War or earlier, you'll notice that many of them have engines with large frontal areas and cylinders arranged about the propeller crankshaft. This a radial ...

What makes piston ring selection and ring endgap so important to engine life and power? What's more, what makes that first engine firing so critical to proper break-in and longevity? Those first few ...

A good braking setup is as essential to performance and lap times as a powerful engine, and even more for safety. Braking technology has made quite a few advances over the years, going from drum ...

Piston ring grooves serve a larger purpose than simply supporting the rings. They impact combustion sealing, oil control, friction, and many more engine attributes. Wiseco is a world leader in piston ...
