Hawai Airport Piston Engine indentification question ...

Looks like a 9-cylinder Wright R-1820 Cyclone (G?) rather severely cut- away. (wouldn't bet the farm on it tho') Wes No, that is not a Wright Cyclone. The engine in the picture is a double cylinder row type, but it's difficult to notice at first. Look the lower cylinder at seven o'clock and you'll see the front cylinder row push rod arrangement in front of the cylinder. Look the cylinder left side of it, at 8 o'clock and you'll see the push rod tubes behind the cylinder. That's the rear cylinder row. How about some version of Pratt & Whitney R-2800: http://www.enginehistory.org/P&W/R-2800-32W.jpg Just ignore the supercharger unit and look the front part of the engine. JP
