Radial Engine

A radial engine is an internal combustion engine that has its cylinders arranged like spokes on a wheel, with the crankshaft at the center. This arrangement allows for efficient cooling and compact design. Radial engines were commonly used in aircraft during the early to mid-20th century before being phased out by more advanced engine designs. Despite their obsolescence, radial engines are still used today in certain specialized applications such as vintage aircraft restoration and marine engines.
