Radial engines are just plain cool – it’s inarguable that any tech that originated with early aviation is inherently awesome. But, what do you do when you want to build a radial engine in your dorm ...

When learning about the design of a machine or mechanism, reading and watching videos is certainly effective, but it’s hard to beat hands-on experimentation. In the video after the break, [Brick ...

If you look at aircraft from the Second World War or earlier, you'll notice that many of them have engines with large frontal areas and cylinders arranged about the propeller crankshaft. This a radial ...

CANTON Over the past 15 years C. Mitchell Boulton has been working to make something old new again. Doing what he described as a retirement hobby, Boulton began reverse engineering a radial aircraft ...

The 20th century was the age of the internal combustion engine. The fruits of industrial progress produced power plants tasked with everything from running generators to powering warplanes. The First ...

Like all good engineers, those designing aircraft engines are greedy. They always want more power, more durability, and more efficiency. They also want it in the smallest, lightest package possible.

As the automotive propulsion industry shifts toward electrification, the last-of-breed combustion engines are a stultifyingly similar bunch, focused around the same CAD-optimized 500cc cylinder ...
