      Yes, a crossplane on a 2 stroke I4 is as natural a choice as a flat plane for. 4 stroke I4 since both have evenly spaced ignition events. The crossplane 4 stroke I4 was dreamed up on the idea that the uneven firing might afford for a more progressive power-induced loss of traction after the same was noted for 270 degree twins vs 360 degree twins.

      Took the words straight out of my mouth! 4 cylinder inline two stroke would be like having two 2 cylinder two strokes firing at the same time, that’s why the only ones made were square 4 or V4, the only way you could make an inline 4 two stroke work is the crossplane crank 👍

    • @Buzdu22
      @Buzdu22 6 лет назад

      L Adam it will work, but it is impractical and the inline 4 inherent secondary vibrations would increase as the engine would work exactly like a two cylinder because two cylinders fire at the same time, in pairs. Why make a more complex 4 cylinder, when you could have the same result with a two cylinder?
      As far as I know there are no two stroke l4’s for this exact reason. A cross plane crank would make the l4 work in a two stroke, as it spaces out the firing intervals

    • @identiticrisis
      @identiticrisis 4 года назад +1

      Kind of yes. The sound is a product of the piston phases (90° optimum) and those piston phases are selected for the way that any time a given piston is stationary, the other three are compensating for its fluctuating kinetic energy. This translates to less uncontrolled torque oscillation at the driven wheel at high rpm (required for high specific power output), which makes it easier to feel the limit of grip through the throttle, and should technically be kinder to the tyre for a given pace (although it's then easier to exploit the tyre more, so...). Modern traction control muddies this a bit, but it's telling that all but one of the engines on the grid this year (such that it is) are essentially cross-plane (Yamaha, Suzuki, Honda) or almost cross-plane (Ducati, Aprilia) in terms of piston phases and resulting total kinetic energy oscillation.

    You can add one more engine to the list as Garage 54 just modified a Lada engine with cross-plane cranks. 😏

    What about Detroit 4-53? It should be a crossplane in order to have even firing order.

    The *Fath-Kuhn URS* sounds like a small and slow *Yamaha YZF-R1/MT-10.* Interesting.

    • @identiticrisis
      @identiticrisis 4 года назад +1

      Even more interesting is the engineer responsible for the URS engine "invented" the crossplane concept (more accurately, he paid attention to the concept of flywheel sizing and the first principles of piston motion, as adhered to in the steam era - two cylinder steam locomotives were crossplane!!), at least as far as Yamaha describe it reducing torque oscillation in the drivetrain. He went one step further and eliminated some of the torsion and crankcase breathing issues that Yamaha had to battle with in the early years of their crossplane unit.
      Just goes to show that industry inertia, big egos and a predisposition for voodoo over basic education all slow progress significantly. Yamaha introduced their crossplane engine 16 years ago, and only Ducati followed suit initially, Suzuki also adopted it on their return. Two years ago Honda adopted it, and this year Aprilia did. That leaves only KTM in the old school of thought, that is of neglecting the even older school of thought...

    • @knispel1066
      @knispel1066 6 лет назад +1

      Vmax has a V4 not an inline 4, and it's regular for a two stroke to have a crossplane

    • @fidelcatsro6948
      @fidelcatsro6948 6 лет назад +1

      Vmax kitty is a 4 stroker..not 2 stroke...2 stroke 4 cylinders have to be cross plane because 2 strokes fire at every revolution instead of 4strokes that fire only at every 2 revolutions...if you made flat plane 2 strokes for 4 cylinders its going to thump very hard like a single or twin cylinder and shake the ground and loosen the nuts and bolts..

    • @franciscodieguez5187
      @franciscodieguez5187 6 лет назад

  • @aleksandrnestrato

    The second one doesn't count. 'Cause for the 2-stroke straight four cross plane crank is natural, in order to make even firing order (every 90°).

      Not really, i see what you mean, but subies have a normal firing order for a 4 cylinder, just the same as all other 4 cylinders, but the cylinders are 180° from each other, and so is the crank positions.

    • @J_CART3R

    • @identiticrisis
      @identiticrisis 4 года назад

      The RC163 is a flat plane engine. The exhausts are separated such that you hear the 180 pairs, a lot like a boxer four. If you separate them even further, you start to approach the crossplane sound. But that requires some silly differences in exhaust primary lengths (/ tip locations) that usually don't fit on a bike or in a car. And it only works in a specific rpm range even then.

    Motus bikes have a cross plane v4

    • @identiticrisis
      @identiticrisis 4 года назад

      That's different, it's _almost_ crossplane. More like the Ducati V4 and the new Aprilia MotoGP engine. A true crossplane V4 would have e.g. common crankpins separated by 180 degrees in a 90° V angle (Honda). The Motus has a 90° V, sure, but the crank is something like 75°, similar to the Ducati's 70°. My guess is the Aprilia is a 60° crank.
