PRATT & WHITNEY R-4360

 

Another amazing radial piston engine restored by the Aero Telemetry team is the Pratt & Whitney R-4360-59B. This engine also represents the highest level of development of the piston engine by the Pratt & Whitney company prior to retiring their radial engine legacy for jet turbines. The R-4360 is one of the largest radial engines ever produced and has an incredible 28 cylinders to keep a four-blade, 17 foot diameter propeller turning at 2375 RPM.
