Guess the "right" airfoil depends on what you want...

Pietenpol-List: Mystery engine

This has befuddeled me for several years. I thought I knew engines. I'm givingthe Piet list first chance to come up with an answer for me. Does anyone knowanything about the attached engine? Watercooled, 5 cyl radial, dual plugs,Bosch injected, Garrett turbocharged, prop reduction belts. I suspect it isa one-of but that's a LOT of work and expense. Any gearheads out there have someideas?Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ttachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/myst ... ______Date: Sun, 25 Sep 2011 09:08:11 -0400 (GMT-04:00)

Actually, I think that the radial engine is on a stand next to this engine, becauseyou don't see the cylinders in subsequent pictures. I think that it is a single rotor rotary engine, but I am by no means an engineexpert. I am going to post the photos on a rotary engine forum and see what theycome up with.--------Semper Fi,Terry HandRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Mystery engine

Notice how the turbo sends induction air into a rear plenum? This would seem toindicate some sort of sleeve port for each cylinder to receive its charge. Also it seems to be set up as a pusher engine because the turbo is fed from therear of the firewall and exhaust is facing the prop disc. I know this is notPiet related but I owned a Piet for years and have followed this site for 11years. You guys all seem like old pals who like a mental challenge.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Sun, 25 Sep 2011 20:53:25 +0000 (UTC)
