Radial Engine

A radial engine is a type of internal combustion engine where cylinders radiate outward from a central crankshaft. The pistons move in a circular motion, transferring power to the crankshaft, which converts reciprocating motion into rotary motion. This design provides a compact and powerful engine configuration, commonly used in aircraft during the early to mid-20th century. Radial engines are recognized for their reliability, simplicity, and ability to generate high torque, making them suitable for aviation and industrial applications
