I love the sound of a Rolls-Royce Merlin, but nothing compares to a big radial. Hearing a P-47 or a F4U and B'17 on take off sends chills up my spine.

Gotta love Pratt & Whitney

Rotary engines are an engineering wonder...

Gotta love the rolling shutter effect

Ahhhhhh there it is....radial fix for the day ! Thank you !

This rotary engine is a crazy engine, I don't understand why it was made?

Just fabulous! Loved it.

Nothing like TWO 2800s at full throttle on takeoff 👍👍👍😎😎🇺🇸🇺🇸 A26b

Btw., the Oberursel Engine Company (Motorenfabrik Oberursel) is still in business, after Deutz and BMW, they are part of Rolls Royce since 2000.

I just love the sound of them all

Great video...👍

Awesome engines. The semi with the rad on back should fire that engine in traffic, it might keep tailgaters away😂😂😂

Love those round engines. :o)

You mean radial engines Or rotary engines

@@Pwills no, round.

I think the rotary engine would be the engines with the rotating cylinders.

Amazing difference between the WWI and WWII engines!

Radial was an engendering marvel.

I won't be happy until I find a Fokker with a 13B swap. _BRAPBRAPBRAP_

R26B would br much better

What speed does the rotary engine spin ?. You'd think the centrifugal forces would tear it apart, even quicker than the wooden propeller ! 😮

All the good engine will be the propeller blade turning counter clockwise otherwise the engine consider not good enough

ROTARY ENGINE TOO DANGEROUS FOR ME

If you're firing up an air-cooled engine without a prop, how long does it take to overheat?

All compromised. Never going to beat a Merlin Engine.

At 0:43 THAT is a LeRhone 9C, (80 hp at 1200 rpm: Nieupot 11, Sopwitch Pup, Dh2 etc.) It is NOT a Gnome Monosoupap. Can't you spend 15 seconds looking this crap up?

I didn’t see a single rotary engine in the bunch

You're talking about a Wankel rotary engine - like in the Mazda RX7. The term "rotary engine" pre-dates the Wankel and was applied to any engine where the cylinders were distributed evenly around the crankshaft. Engines with stationary cylinders came to be known as "radial engines".

@@UtahDelaCruz.... Oooh ..... I wuz wondering about that too!! So the early "rotarys" were the ones where the cylinders rotated with the propellor !? That musta given major gyroscopic control problems given all that mass rotating at the front of the plane !!!

@@stupitdog9686 I wondered about that. My guess is that this was taking place so early in the development of aircraft that if the engine was properly balanced, anything else would just be perceived as wind buffeting - rather than gyroscopic effects. Hard to say - not many of those types of aircraft around anymore.

Rotary engines hadn’t been designed in ww1

Rotary engines were designed in the 1890's. You're probably thinking of the WANKEL engine which came out much later and "technically" isn't a "rotary engine" at all. Rotary ENGINE means a rotating ENGINE. A Wankel doesn't rotate, it has a rotor inside of it that rotates.

Shows what you know 🙄

rolling shutter effect ruins the video.

To much energy spent and not enough flying !!! 🧐🥴
