Radial?
When I first heard of rx7s, I thought they had radial engines. I thought that was really cool. Then I found out they were rotaries and my head assploded.
Edit... apparently some people call radial engines as rotary engines. Hmmm.
In reply to wvumtnbkr :
If the crank is connected to the airframe and the engine + propeller rotate together it is a rotary aircraft engine.
Well... there are rotary radial engines:
Many WWI aircraft engines are radials, where the crank is attached to the plane, so the whole engine spins (yes, there is a LOT of gyroscopic procession effect!). The engine breath through a hollow crank, so intake charge passes through the crank case and the intake valves are on the pistons. Yes, they are kind of strange.
I would love to find a good diagram of that, because I am still not entirely sure how it works.
Helluva beam torque wrench.
