"Max Richter" wrote in message ... Hallo, i am wondering why American aircraftradialengines have no aerodynamical spinners.Airplanes with inlineengines like P51;P40;P38 and so on have aerodynamical optimized spinners. And German radialengines had spinners like the FW190.Zero´s and other Japanese aircraft had them. What is the reason why the wellbuild American aircraft had just a little hup on their propellers. Thank You and greetings Max Probably because with all the rest of the engine exposed little was to be gained but just looking at photographs try these (all verified by photos). Some of these were built in quantity.
