No, no, no. The Hercules engine is (as is well-known) a 14-cylinder
sleeve-valve radial.

(Lets see what Tarver makes of that.)


That is a lot of sparkplugs.


No, its completely true. Read carefully.


I see, but you are misusing the term radial WRT turbojets, as the term
radial refers to compressor flow. (ie T-33) Yes, I worked on T-33 motors.

Nice analogy though.

What would you call the new sleevless axial flow high bypass burners?
