"So Edmund [Rumpler], what did you get up to in World War 1?" "Indeed!" When Edmund Rumpler wasn't busy building fighters to try and knock the allied air brigades out of the sky his creative mind drifted to other tantalising projects of tomorrow. Toward the end of WW1 he conceived of a (then...

Valid question of Schweik in another thread about ability of Petlyakov Pe-2 bomber to fly with one engine down. Best Allied medium bomber 1942-1943 besides the Mosquito I searched through Russian language sources to find more information. Let me present results of my findings in two parts...

Before WW2, Poland was spending much time and money in trying to develop a small twin-engine two seat fighter-bomber. The PSL 38 Wilk (Wolf) was supposed to provide Poland with an aircraft that could perform the duties of both fighter and dive-bomber. This aircraft was to be powered by two...

Hi all! Had an hard time lately trying to detect "who flew what" about Zero during last year of war. My main reference is quite generic about specific model, always mentioning it only as "Zero". It looks that only few units flew A6M until war's end: 205th Ku 252nd " 302nd " 352nd " 381st "...

If you could streamline Japanese aircraft, engine, and armament procurement, so there would be less duplication between Army and Navy, how would you do it? A5M or Ki-27? Ki-44 or J2M? Ki-21 or G3M? Ki-49 or G4M? Or were these aircraft sufficiently different to all be needed? What...

This isnt the very well beaten to death Air cooled Radial engine vs Water cooled V engine question. I was wondering about the differences between the 2 types of engines oil cooling systems. Did a radial engine have a larger oil radiator and therefore a larger oil capacity or was it the...

Hi Guys, While some of you Kool Kats were taking terrific pics of old warplanes at airshows and museums, the rest of us have been plodding on as usual. Tonight, three of us at work removed an engine from one of our aeroplanes and were messing about with our phone cameras after we'd finished the...

I have looked through all the posts in this Engine section and was wondering if anyone might have the -10 (Operators manual) for the R-2800 series engine? I think that it might have power rating charts in it. Thanks in advance

If one nation managed to get their hands on another maintenance manuals detailing an engine, but not an engineering blue print for production, what was the threat of reverse engineering a copy of that engine from just those manuals?

Okay so I know the Nickel, Cobalt and Molybdenum were the primary metals to construct the jet engines. What was the percentage of each metal going into the jet engine? Also what other metals am I missing? How much of each metal was needed in order to construct 8,000 units?

One of the biggest issues of German R&D during the war was the proliferation of projects being worked on; if the RLM got some sense and parred things down for BMW how much more quickly could the BMW 801 have developed. Let's assume that other than tweeking the BMW 132 and working on the BMW 003...

Hello, I must admit I'm not very knowledgeable on engines, thus I have a few questions on the BMW 803 cotra-rotating prop engine. Here is some criticisms wiki has to offer: Is this low power-to-weight ratio really that horrendous? How could it be improved? Would it have been better to throw...
