Radial Engine

A radial engine is a type of internal combustion engine characterized by a circular arrangement of cylinders radiating outward from a central crankcase, resembling the spokes of a wheel. This design was widely used in aircraft propulsion during the early to mid-20th century, particularly in military aircraft and some commercial applications. While radial engines are less common in modern aviation, they remain popular in certain niche applications and historical aircraft restoration.
