I just had a look at the R-3350 engine....it has 2800 kW = 3780 HP. So you're right....the strongest piston aircraft engine remains in USA..... _______________________________________________ Fot mai

Unless you believe "World War II Combat Aircraft" Military Press, p.162. It states that the BMW 803, 28 cylinder used on the FW 190D experimental produced 3800 hp. Back to you Marx. I just had a look

An interesting one. Didn't know that one. It can switch off both engine parts seperatly to save fuel. 2.868 kW (3.845 HP) Let's say drawn....because the engine was never in use. _____________________

If we're including experimental engines here, how about the Lycoming sitting down at Paul Garber (unless they moved it to Udvar-Hazy); four rows of nine cylinders, liquid cooled. I disremenber the d
