Hello,

I'm trying to find the power curve or at least some performance data of the WM-K14B engine that equipped the hungarian Heja II aircraft (the version derived from the Reggiane RE2000).

The only info that I have found is max power of 1085 HP but don't know at which altitude.

Do you have any info ?

Thanks,

Paolo
 
Well, according to Wikipedia, the Manfred Weiss WM K.14 was simply a licensed copy of the Gnome-Rhone 14K Mistral Major, so that would be a good place to look if you want more information. There is another thread right here: On big radials This thread has a power curve for the 14Kdrs, which peaked at 1115 HP, which is close to what you're looking for.
 
Thanks Camman for the hint.

From what I've seen and checking with italian sources I would go for:
- WMK-14: Gnome-Rhone 14N1
- WMK-14B: Gnome-Rhone 14N48/49

The reason is the rated altitude that according to sources should be around 4000 m and for those engines is about 3700m.

Let's see if in the future sources from hungarian side could add more details
