A radial engine is a type of internal combustion engine where the cylinders are arranged around a central crankshaft in a pattern that resembles the spokes of a wheel, with the pistons moving outward from the center. This design was commonly used in aircraft engines during the early and mid-20th century, providing high power output and excellent cooling capabilities. Today, radial engines are still in use for certain specialized applications, such as marine propulsion systems.
