Just a general discussion. anything relating to aircraft.
Example:
some of my favorite aircraft:
Grumman F6F Hellcat
Boeing B-52 Stratofortress
McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II
Republic-Fairchild A-10 Thunderbolt II
General Atomics MQ-9...
Can modern air cooled inline engines compete with the water cooled engines of WWII?
Perhaps there are no modern engines of those ratings being produced, if that is the case, then could modern air cooled technology produce engines competitive with water cooled engines of WWII?
