I just heard something really amazing, which I wasn't aware of before. Rotary Engine aircraft had ONE speed?
Did they have to cut the engine to land? I'm also finding it very interesting that Sopwith stuck with the rotary engine for the Snipe, which strikes me as odd since the water cooled engines were more powerful. Was the power to weight ratio that huge for the rotaries when compared the watercooled engines? |
