Le Rhone 9J/Oberursel Ur.2
Hello all,
I've got a question considering the above mentioned engines; was it possible on these engines to reverse the cranckcase(or to mount the engine endplates the other way around)? If so, was this actually done in practice? Ries |

What?
More than feasibility of solution, intrigues WHY you asked for...
Short answer is NO, I think. There were too many liaisons to do that. But, again, what should be the reason to do that, in your opinion.

The Le Rhone/Oberursel nine-cylinder rotaries were used only in 'tractor' configuration, as far as I know - to have used them as 'pushers' would have necessitated the reversal of thrust washers/bearings, methinks. The most popular 'pusher' rotary was the Gnome Monosaupape, which powered the Vickers FB.5 'Gunbus' and Airco DH2 among others.
