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

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.


The Hercules engine is 14-a cylinder, sleeve-valve radial reciprocator.
