Awesome! I'm amazed that the cylinders on the last crank behind the prop were effectively cooled.

The stagger of the cylinders and baffles around the cylinders directed cooling air around them all. Cylinderhead temperature was measured off the rear row. They could be a real bear to work on though. Spent 4 years working on KC-97 engines. Love 'em!!!

I always stand in awe of the efforts must have it taken to design and develope this engine. No CAD, no computers, no CNC machining centers! Just smarts, sweat, and the desire to defeat a tyrant!

Wonderful engine.
I have thousands of hrs as a Flight Engineer in C97 aircraft and then with AeroSpacelines (PG Aircraft)operating the R 4360 engine.
When operated properly, this was a very reliable engine
