Radial Engine 3D model

This model demonstrates a 14-cylinder double-row radial engine, showcasing the transformation of the pistons' back-and-forth motion into rotational energy that rotates the crankshaft through the master and connecting rods. Radial engines were prevalent in vintage aircraft and still operational today, featuring a unique design where they are mounted on the sides rather than at an angle, which is a distinct advantage as it reduces weight while also presenting a larger frontal profile.
