I hadn't looked at it very carefully until last week maybe and then discovered wow, 36 cylinders. It's interesting relative to other multi-row radials in that it's basically 9 in-line 4s with overhead cams. That'd take a heck of a plane (or boat). I wonder if they ever had a planned airframe for the engine during design.

I was quite surprised. Did you know Lycoming made a 7700+ cubic inch 36 cyl water cooled radial? They made a lot of engines in their hey-day. ________________________________________________________________________ from AOL at AOL.com. ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 10:55:12 AM PST US From: "Steve Roberts" Subject: RE: TeamGrumman-List: V-12 Lycoming I saw a P&W 27 cyl where they had four nine cylinder radials all on the same crank. It was reported to have been used in a German tank and some single engine aircraft (can't recall what at the moment). It was at a museum just outside of Lancaster, PA at an event called Rough & Tumble. I was only there for about three to fours hours last week as I had to divirt around some nasty WX on my way in. I'll check with my brother to see if he took pics of any of the aircraft stuff. It was mostly steam engines, locomotives and tractors. There were some fixed engines too though running mills, generators and the like, many dating before 1900. As a pilot, only two bad things can happen to you and one of them will. a. One day you will walk out to the aircraft knowing that it is your last flight. b. One day you will walk out to the aircraft not knowing that it is your last flight.
