b40rt Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 Museum of flight, near Edinburgh, has a moving model radial engine that has sleeve valves. Well worth a look, but not always on display. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pschrauber Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 Well... while the sticker tells me the car / engine combination was build in Germany, the music tells me that this car was made in former east Germany. Anyway these radial engine need much space (beside for an air plane). The Finnish Navy uses speed boats with radial engines. I personal like these Lanz Bulldog 20liter one cylinder tractors a lot never thought an engine can run so slowly and still being so strong without having any hp to mention about.
