A few thoughts on "Aircraft Engines" vs. the regular kind.
Air cooled engines are now no longer made because of, well,
obsolescence, except toys for yupsters like Harley Davidson. Air cooled engines no longer made? Look around you. Take a peek at your lawnmower for example. Then go find a brand new piston Cezzna and squint under the cowl. Vaughn Or any other brand-new certified piston airplane or helicopter. Is Continental even still building that liquid-cooled Voyager engine, and where is it used? Check any turbine engine, whether it's a turboprop, jet or turboshaft: all aircooled. Dan |

Where did I say anything about small gas boat engines?

the irony of it all....
Texas Parks & Wildlife magazine - November 2005 On the cover - Why group hunts are more efficient - and more fun. And on page 22/23 - A double page centerfold of a fat guy in an orange vest raising his shotgun - and a pheasant climbing for dear life - straight lined up with the camera! |

2. If the Lycoming and Continental paradigm of large displacement
light slow turning engine was so great for aircraft, they would be great for a lot of other things as well. Why should they be "great for a lot of other things?" Not sure how you can make that jump... |

light slow turning engine was so great for aircraft, they would be great for a lot of other things as well. Airboats. Hovercraft. Tanks (some WWII tanks used a radial aircooled engine, which some homebuilders converted for their airplanes). APUs (Lyc O-290-G). Helicopters. Cars (Franklin, VW, Corvair, Tucker, and others, though the RPM was higher, as it is in the same basic aircraft engines that are used in helicopters). Dan |
