Anyone wants to know more about this stuff, I recommend going to your local small airport. I mean small, no tower , maybe a place to get a burger and pay for fuel.... there can be lot of old vets floating around and don't mind telling a story or 2 and possibly getting a ride. Trust me these guys wanna go fly around the patch , but it's like a dirt bike , nobody wants to go alone it's more fun with someone. How do I know? My dads retired and has a hangar at a small airport. There's all kinds of neat stuff to be seen and characters to talk to. Nothin beats that radial sound, you can hear the size , but they sound like they aren't even trying hard. like a huge giant that blows down a forest with one breath.
Yes...God's Blessings on your Dad and all your Family. I know of such a place in Nevada...I can't remember the name...or the City. I do remember the Wednesday Special though. It was Pigs Knuckles and Sauerkraut. My Father and my Grandfather's favorites. WWI and WWII Aviators. Both of them, so very long gone now. I had a dream once. I gave both of them a spin in my Helo over Nha Trang...it was just a dream. Today, another dream. Power out. Roter on the edge of the Red. At least the Sea is warm. This dream was my past. If no Wars, we might fly only kites now, but I would miss the Radial's sounds and smells. Are there Radials in Heaven?
You know, not every human being lives in US or whatever place you are talking about, here in Poland we don't have that stuff. In Warsaw there are 2 big airports and that's it, no more. So sadly none of what you sad can aply to me, epic.
Try Flabob in Riverside (Rubidoux) Ca. This is home to the first chapter of Experiential Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association They have some of the most unusual aircraft I have ever seen.
The B-29 used a the turbo supercharged R-3350. The Turbo compound used an exhaust turbine to route power directly to the crankshaft. 3 units per engine producing apx. 150 HP each. I worked on this engine while assigned to the Navy patrol squadron VP-65 equipped with the SP-2H (P2V-7) Neptune.
Back in the late 70s - early 80s, I flew DC-7s as air tankers at forest fires. They had 4 R3350s. These engines were designed in the mid 1930s, the first one ran in 1937. There were no computers back then or even calculators. If close was ok, you used a slide rule. If it had to be exact, you did the actual math on paper. The ones I remember were 3400 HP for takeoff, 2900 HP continuous. The props were about 14' in diameter and the gear ratio was 7/16 prop/engine. They had power recovery turbines, one turbine for 6 cylinders, 3 total. These were basically turbines with slanted blades that were connected to the crankshaft via oil couplings. They caused very little back pressure but added added 400 - 500 extra HP @ takeoff power. They were also a royal bear to work on........ They had superchargers, 2 speed. Low speed for under 12,000', high speed for over 12,000'. Tankers are almost never higher than 12,000' so we always used low speed. They used 115/145 avgas. Purple gas...... They would run on 100/130 but the maximum takeoff power was reduced to 2800 HP. They used 60 weight oil in winter and 80 in summer. They would burn a couple of gallons of oil an hour. If it was more than 4 - 5 per hour, it was time to look into why. On a hot summer day, a typical takeoff manifold pressure would be pretty close to 60". Though I started them hundreds of times, it was always a thrill to hit the mags and hear them come to life........
RR KNL The best comment so far. Allways loving to learn from those who really know it, and above all the people "with the hands on the job". Thanks for your interesting lesson, Sir.!!! Kudos to you.!!!
Last I heard they're still using them although I believe that the FAA restricts them to around 60% power because of the age and condition of the engines, they were the engines used in the B29 Superfortress, but the Pratt&Whitney R-4360-51VDT Wasp Major is the king, 4,300 HP, after WW2 they developed a bomber from the B29 called the B50, the Wright engines were constant problems in the B29 from day one and by 1944 they started work on fitting the 4 row P&W Wasp Major on an experimental plane called the YB44 which was a production B29 that the engines were fit on as a test bed and developed into the B50 after the war. That being said, I'd give anything to see a P47 do a low level full power War Emergency Power pass, but considering the age and scarity of them I ain't holding my breath.
RE KNL thanks for the info . It,s great hearing from acuale people who flew and worked on these aircraft. I love the radials awsome piece of machinery.
They are so wonderful engines that you can not name just 10 engines. In my opinion, it is missing: P & W R4360 Wasp Major, P & W R2800, Shvetesov ASH62 and Bristol Centaurus.
Pratt & Whitney R, Bristol Centaurus, BMW 801, Shvetsov ASh, Gnome-Rhône, Nakajima Sakae, Hitachi Amakaze, Bristol Mercury, Fiat A, were one of the most popular radial engines during WW2
my own reply lol I would like to se if you could get some information on the Fiesler Storch and the inverted V8 that powered it ( it was in the forground in the BMW segment) thanks
Nothing beats the sound or feel of a Radial! Great Video! I'd like to more Radial videos done on some of the radial powerplants from the mid 1940s and beyond.
My father flew Beechcraft D-18 and E-18 Twin Beeches. Since he had an A&E,certificate( predated the A&P), he worked on his own Wasp Jr R-985 radials. Used to help him, as a child, when the planes were based out of LaGuardia in Flushing, N.Y. Memories,I shall Never forget. He was,a,good radial engine mechanic!!
Great! Just remembering the might V-12: Rolls-Royce, Alisson, Napier, Hyspano-Suiza, Daimler-Benz, Jumo and Klimov. About the first two, the sound is unforgettable.
How do you find all the information and ideas for all these videos with lesser known engines in them? its amazing good job, I love these videos :) maybe more vlogs or real life car videos too!
Love the sound of the Bristol Hercules with its sleeve valves. A point to note is that some of the Japanese and German warbirds that are airworthy have P&W or Wright engines instead of their original engines, because these planes mostly were complete wrecks before restoration, in these cases the original engine was often beyond repair. As Japan and Germany has to destroy all remaining weaponary after the war, including stocks of spares, there are not many original engines left, just the ones in crashed planes, there were however plenty of unused new American and British engines left after the war, and there is still a good availability of these engines now, used and maybe even with very low running hours.
Dude! You are the man! You used my video, but YOU GAVE ME CREDIT AND SHARED LINK TO MY ORIGINAL VIDEO!! Thank you!! If you would like to borrow other footage, send me a PM and I'll get you whatever you need. Thanks!!
Great video! One of the best, if not the best, most throughly researched and well presented and made videos on tge subject of aircraft radial engines, even touching breifly on the rare car varients, that ive ever seen. As radial engines are my absolute favorite, and radial piston powered aircraft of all types--with of course the Corsair being my all time favorite as with most people--ive seen alot of material on the subject so by saying this is tge best ive seen so far then it really means something. I not only hit the like button but also subscribed on the strength of this video alone...great job and i hope to see more of this quality of video in the future. I love to learn so im hoping your videos will take me into new territories!! Keep up the great work please...
Got pretty pumped because I read it quick and thought it said radicle engines and I thought the engine in the thumbnail was a rotary because I looked only quick. Watching anyway 👌
Hi Visio, about the Zero fighters, not only did the planes used the Nakaiima Sakae. There were variants which used the Mitsubishi Zuisei, Mitsubishi Shinten and Mitsubishi Kinsei engines All three mitsubishi engines were produced along side the Nakaiima Sakae around 20,000 Mitsibishi engines in total were made during the World War 2 period.
Nakajima Sakae was a impoved version from the Gnome & Rhone 14K (rights was sale to Japan before the war, close to the G&R 14N who fit on the Bloch 152-155), same thing with the V12 Klimov engine from the yak 1 and 3, who was based on the Hispano Suiza 12Y fit on Morane 406 and Dewoitine D520... The last Bristol Hercules (2040hp) was built from the SNECMA in the 60' for the Nord 2501 Noratlas military transport aircraft.
The largest MASS PRODUCED, it was 71,5 liters (28 cyl), the Lycoming XR-7755 was 136 liters (36 cyl), but that engine never got past the testing phase.
“Maybe because this engine, being the largest aircraft piston engine ever made, is already well known.” So were the R1820 (used in the DC3 and B17) and R3350 (used in the Constellation, B29, and DC7).
Visio, Check out the Saito 3, 5, 7 cylinder RC radial engine. It runs on gasoline, not nitro. It sounds so good for an engine that fits in your hand. 9HP!! Palm of your hand.
how about a video on aircraft or ship engines from famous car brands like Mercedes, bmw, volvo or rolls royce? or maybe "cars" engine-swapped with these monsters, like the 'Brutus' or some Drag Trucks :)
I have flown twice I'm a flat lander I like to stay on the ground My first flight was on a DC3 I knew I was in for a ride when even before take off me and 11 other passengers had started to get drunk half of them said it helps on the older planes my last was on a DC10 it was a lot less fun The DC3 was rough and way past it's age but did it's job of doing a air hop from texas to, florida great. I like the noise of the shake of the older planes
What was the radial that the Germans produced under license to P&W before war was declared? Given to understand we ended up encountering that power plant in opposition over Europe, later...
martianshoes Yes, the BMW 801series was a license built copy of the Pratt & Whitney R1690 Hornet, and was used on most JU 52's and all military JU 52's. The Germans also made a twin row version of it, used in the FW 190 among others. So much for superior German engineering, Hahaha!
Radial engines were also used in U S Army tanks. Both the M-4 Sherman and the M-3 Grant tanks used radial engines. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wright_R-975_Whirlwind
A lot of russian aircraft are started with compressed air, anything else is just not reliable in the cold, and pilots often bring a bottle of compressed air to refill the tank in case they don`t get the engine running in the attempts they can get from the on-board "charge" :)
I think the surviving Mitsubishi "Zero" A6M fighter aircraft shown are actually powered by American Pratt&Whitney R-1830 engines, through lack of original Nakaijama Sakae powerplants.
The R-4360 seems like it should be included. Although it was common, so were the (included) R-1820 and R-3350. The XR-7755 would also have been a GREAT one to include since it was the largest radial built. It also had features uncommon to radials like water cooling and overhead cams. It even had VTEC (yes, VTEC, and back in the 40s). It may not have been included due to the fact that it never actually flew.
what about a 13.5L (500cc per cylinder) 27 cylinder liquid cooled Radial Engine 108 valve DOHC setup with Variable Valve Timing and Lift for the intake and Exhaust 9 Intercooled Variable Geometry Turbos Port Fuel Injection
If you like these, go read about the Pratt & Whitney R2800 Double Wasp, specifically the one used in the Republic P47. Reason of interest: Huge fucking engine, with a huge fucking rear mount turbo!
Anyone wants to know more about this stuff, I recommend going to your local small airport.
I mean small, no tower , maybe a place to get a burger and pay for fuel....
there can be lot of old vets floating around and don't mind telling a story or 2 and possibly getting a ride.
Trust me these guys wanna go fly around the patch , but it's like a dirt bike , nobody wants to go alone it's more fun with someone.
How do I know?
My dads retired and has a hangar at a small airport.
There's all kinds of neat stuff to be seen and characters to talk to.
Nothin beats that radial sound, you can hear the size , but they sound like they aren't even trying hard. like a huge giant that blows down a forest with one breath.
Yes...God's Blessings on your Dad and all your Family.
I know of such a place in Nevada...I can't remember the name...or the City. I do remember the Wednesday Special though. It was Pigs Knuckles and Sauerkraut. My Father and my Grandfather's favorites. WWI and WWII Aviators. Both of them, so very long gone now.
I had a dream once. I gave both of them a spin in my Helo over Nha Trang...it was just a dream. Today, another dream. Power out. Roter on the edge of the Red. At least the Sea is warm.
This dream was my past.
If no Wars, we might fly only kites now, but I would miss the Radial's sounds and smells. Are there Radials in Heaven?
You know, not every human being lives in US or whatever place you are talking about, here in Poland we don't have that stuff. In Warsaw there are 2 big airports and that's it, no more. So sadly none of what you sad can aply to me, epic.

RE KNL thanks for the info . It,s great hearing from acuale people who flew and worked on these aircraft. I love the radials awsome piece of machinery.
Power recovery turbines are known by mechanics as 'Parts Recovery Turbines' due to the increased maintenance they cause.
They are so wonderful engines that you can not name just 10 engines.
In my opinion, it is missing: P & W R4360 Wasp Major, P & W R2800, Shvetesov ASH62 and Bristol Centaurus.
Did you guys know that this BMW 801 in that FW-190 you see in this Video is the only Original one left still Flying.
I do, and i would love seeing it fly. Bit tired if all the spitfires and mustangs at airshows.
Isegrim1S9T8P0 *only original with a BMW 801 airworthy
Much the same as the mitsubishi a6m. Apparently only one flying with its original engine. The others all have a r1830 from a dc3 from memory.
Notmah Cuppatea Correct. Plane’s of Fame in Chino, CA has the only airworthy Zero, SN 61-120, with it’s original engine.
Pratt & Whitney R, Bristol Centaurus, BMW 801, Shvetsov ASh, Gnome-Rhône, Nakajima Sakae, Hitachi Amakaze, Bristol Mercury, Fiat A, were one of the most popular radial engines during WW2
I am absolutely in love with these engines. They have nonsensly great, absolutely amazing sound!!!!
I have been watching your videos for a while and I enjoy every video, thank you for your work.
I've seen some radial planes at airshows, they sound so good!
The most beautiful engines are the radial engines.
You can only look at them and love them because they're gorgeous!
I love your uploads and look forward to them every day !
my own reply lol I would like to se if you could get some information on the Fiesler Storch and the inverted V8 that powered it ( it was in the forground in the BMW segment) thanks

The sound of any of these engines is just pure magnificence.
Commentated or not, your videos are top quality mate. Keep up the good work 👍.
Thanks, buddy!
The Wright Cyclone sounds so good!
Missing the Centaurus 18 that powered the famous Hawker Tempest and Seafury.
Nice Video, m8 ;).
If you make another video about radial engines, could you include the P&W R-4360 „Major Wasp“?
:)
Great!
Just remembering the might V-12: Rolls-Royce, Alisson, Napier, Hyspano-Suiza, Daimler-Benz, Jumo and Klimov.
About the first two, the sound is unforgettable.
How do you find all the information and ideas for all these videos with lesser known engines in them? its amazing good job, I love these videos :) maybe more vlogs or real life car videos too!
There is a lot of it! that nakijama airplane is made by kawasaki, the ninja's motorcycle brand, that's insane!
Nakajima made both: aircraft Ki-43 and Nakajima sakae ,Ha-115... engines...the Ki-43 was close from the Mitsubishi A6M
Google is your friend! Everything can be found on the web. There's nothing to it.
I have also seen radial engines used in the modified tractor pulling class as well
Love the sound of the Bristol Hercules with its sleeve valves.

That's one of the reasons I like Visio, he's always good about links, and I've gone to watch a few of them more completely from that.
That video is way up my alley of interest. I am considered by my family as the living aviation fact book.
Great video but I am a little surprised that the P&W R2800 "double wasp" did not make the list.
Cazual
The spruce goose shoulda gotten a mention as the biggest thing ever with radial power.
Still a good vid tho, I really dig some radials.
You mean R-2800? That beauty powered so many beautiful birds :)
WumbologyTM shit you right thanks for catching that.
You are welcome :)
That was the first thing I thought, the P-47, The Corsiar , The Hellcat engine not mentioned .
hi thx for the vids I love merlins and the like but you cant beat the big gruff sound of a large radial
2:05 You can really hear those three power recovery turbines spooling up.
That Spartan Executive at 1.28, 😍😍
the 1 that i like the most is Wright R-3350 Duplex Cyclone
I known good this engine (3750hp version) fit on Neptune P2V7 (french navy)
I saw a BMW 801 engine in a museum, and the darn engine is a thing of beauty.
Damn these engines are crazy as fuck!!!
Boost Party
Radials are awesome man, you can hear those cubic inches hammering away....
Thanks for the instructional video. I often wondered about how they worked 👍👍

Excellent posting. Thanks !
That intro! Nice!
Radial engines is best for aircooling! V12 engines are better in terms of frontal area as you can use watercooling which takes up little space!
Look up the NACA cowling that helped some radial powered airplanes get a boost in speed
Thanks for very good summary and data!
Got pretty pumped because I read it quick and thought it said radicle engines and I thought the engine in the thumbnail was a rotary because I looked only quick. Watching anyway 👌
I believe the R-3350 TC had WATER injection, not NITRO .
really interesting video about the radial engines and again your english became much better every single day but as always good video ;-)
I love when the propellers and frame rates sync up with each other.
It looks better sinchronycized when analog camera is used...digital ones distorted the propeller shapes on running.
The r-985 is well know here in the northwest. Many beavers still equipped with this engine fly commercially around the Puget sound and north to Alaska
for the mother of god, radial engines sound so fucking badass
i liked this video just because they didnt say "10 engines youve never seen before"
Your english is getting super good
I still love the way he says Skoda
which is the correct way, btw
that fw 190 doehhh
Hi Visio, about the Zero fighters, not only did the planes used the Nakaiima Sakae. There were variants which used the Mitsubishi Zuisei, Mitsubishi Shinten and Mitsubishi Kinsei engines
All three mitsubishi engines were produced along side the Nakaiima Sakae
around 20,000 Mitsibishi engines in total were made during the World War 2 period.
You can say i am a Zero Fighter crazy fan because i fly them in World of Planes
Keep up the good work
Great list once again
Nakajima Sakae was a impoved version from the Gnome & Rhone 14K (rights was sale to Japan before the war, close to the G&R 14N who fit on the Bloch 152-155), same thing with the V12 Klimov engine from the yak 1 and 3, who was based on the Hispano Suiza 12Y fit on Morane 406 and Dewoitine D520...
The last Bristol Hercules (2040hp) was built from the SNECMA in the 60' for the Nord 2501 Noratlas military transport aircraft.
Love these Videos.
No Pratt & Whitney R4360?
I'm not sure but, I think he may have covered it in another video.
Maybe because this engine, being the largest aircraft piston engine ever made, is already well known.
The largest MASS PRODUCED, it was 71,5 liters (28 cyl), the Lycoming XR-7755 was 136 liters (36 cyl), but that engine never got past the testing phase.
“Maybe because this engine, being the largest aircraft piston engine ever made, is already well known.”
So were the R1820 (used in the DC3 and B17) and R3350 (used in the Constellation, B29, and DC7).
Radial engine fan car! They are beautiful engines.
Visio,
Check out the Saito 3, 5, 7 cylinder RC radial engine. It runs on gasoline, not nitro.
It sounds so good for an engine that fits in your hand. 9HP!! Palm of your hand.
You missed that the R-1820 was used in helicopters, The S-58 uses the R-1820
Well done, very informative.
how about a video on aircraft or ship engines from famous car brands like Mercedes, bmw, volvo or rolls royce?
or maybe "cars" engine-swapped with these monsters, like the 'Brutus' or some Drag Trucks
:)
I wish you would have included the grand daddy of them all, the P&W R-4360.
Great editing.
You left out the P&W R-4360! Largest radial engine used in WW2!
Superb video !!!
But in my opinion, you have lost the great opportunity to quote the M4 Sherman's radial engine !!... the Wright R-975 Whirlwind
Nakajima eventually became Subaru.
I think that you will find that the last (and most powerful ) radial aircraft engine produced in the UK was the Bristol Centaurus sleeve valve.
=O 4:38 a non-engine aircraft thing (glider) appeared here in the VisioRacer channel?
What kind of sorcery is this?
I have flown twice I'm a flat lander I like to stay on the ground My first flight was on a DC3 I knew I was in for a ride when even before take off me and 11 other passengers had started to get drunk half of them said it helps on the older planes my last was on a DC10 it was a lot less fun The DC3 was rough and way past it's age but did it's job of doing a air hop from texas to, florida great. I like the noise of the shake of the older planes
The most famous radial engine in history is Wright J5 Whirlwind that powered the Spirit of St Louis to Paris from NY May 21st 1927.
And every single one built by a brain and a slide ruler to perfection.
Thanks for the great info - those boys got some big toys, yet I would put some of these into new planes, running on 'split water">
18 Cylinder radials are objectively the best sounding radials
The best thing about radial engines is easy repair to individual cylinders.
A Radial engine is pornography to all gear heads and remember the Sherman tank had a Radial engine
What was the radial that the Germans produced under license to P&W before war was declared?
Given to understand we ended up encountering that power plant in opposition over Europe, later...
martianshoes Yes, the BMW 801series was a license built copy of the Pratt & Whitney R1690 Hornet, and was used on most JU 52's and all military JU 52's. The Germans also made a twin row version of it, used in the FW 190 among others. So much for superior German engineering, Hahaha!
These are probably the best known radial engines.
that sound tho! goddamn beautifull
What the hell was that flying boat? Looks wild and weird.
Radial engines were also used in U S Army tanks. Both the M-4 Sherman and the M-3 Grant tanks used radial engines.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wright_R-975_Whirlwind
Here's one you will certainly have not seen : ruclips.net/video/8QqAM-QbrzY/видео.html
A lot of russian aircraft are started with compressed air, anything else is just not reliable in the cold, and pilots often bring a bottle of compressed air to refill the tank in case they don`t get the engine running in the attempts they can get from the on-board "charge" :)
You can say that you have the fastest BMW (FW 190)
good old pistons , holding you in the air. D:
I think the surviving Mitsubishi "Zero" A6M fighter aircraft shown are actually powered by American Pratt&Whitney R-1830 engines, through lack of original Nakaijama Sakae powerplants.
No R-4360? What about the Lycoming XR-7755? Largest piston aircraft engine ever
The R-4360 seems like it should be included. Although it was common, so were the (included) R-1820 and R-3350.
The XR-7755 would also have been a GREAT one to include since it was the largest radial built. It also had features uncommon to radials like water cooling and overhead cams. It even had VTEC (yes, VTEC, and back in the 40s). It may not have been included due to the fact that it never actually flew.
Look up Studebaker R9900 !
Very informative
what about a
13.5L (500cc per cylinder)
27 cylinder liquid cooled Radial Engine
108 valve DOHC setup
with Variable Valve Timing and Lift for the intake and Exhaust
9 Intercooled Variable Geometry Turbos
Port Fuel Injection
P&W R-2800DW or R-4360 (75 liter radial) ? where are they)
This video is about "radials you may not know about" everybody knows about the R2800 and the R4360.
