Info and facts on 'Gnome et Rhône' Gnome et Rhône was a major French (The Romance language spoken in France and in countries colonized by France) aircraft engine (The engine that powers and aircraft) manufacturer. The Gnome Lambda of 1911 was a larger 80hp version of the Omega, followed by the 9-cylinder Gnome Delta of 110hp in 1914. Sold under the [French]] translation, the Gnome was a single-cylinder stationary engine of about 4hp that ran on kerosene (A flammable hydrocarbon oil used as fuel in lamps and heaters) (known in Germany as parafin) intended to be used in industrial applications. www.absoluteastronomy.com /encyclopedia/g/gn/gnome_et_rh%f4ne.htm   (1817 words)

The Aerodrome Forum - View Single Post - Different abreviations for German Engines? When the Motorenfabrik Oberursel A.G started to produce "Le Rhóne" type engines they had a problem since suddenly a new designation for the engines was needed to avoid confusion with other, earlier engines of the same power output. This was chosen first because it was the abbreviation for "Ursel" which was a small river at the city of Oberursel where the company was located and because it signified the "Rhóne" principle. In return and in memory for the success the french had with this license built industrial combustion engine, they named their rotary which worked to the same principles the "Gnóme" which was just the French translation for the German word "Gnom". www.theaerodrome.com /forum/showpost.php?s=0a0fac8ab6bccaa3931ff960df2207cf&p=13997&postcount=3   (733 words)

PZL P.11 The radial engines used were: P-11a: Bristol Mercury IV S2 (normal: 525 hp, maximum: 575 hp); P-11b: Gnome-Rhone 9Krsd (550 hp, max: 595 hp), P.11c: Bristol Mercury V S2 (565 hp, max: 600 hp) or Mercury VI S2 (590 hp, max: 630 hp), P.11f: Gnome-Rhone 9Krse (560 hp, max: 610 hp).

Re: H-1 &the Japanese Zero It was powered by 1050hp Gnome Rhone 14 radial and there were plans to upgrade it with a 1600hp heavily modified version of Gnome Rhone powerplant (taken in '44 from Me 323 Giant). It was an early war radial with performance close to those of A6M2 (except range). In this variant will have had perfomance similar to Lavochkin La-7. www.wrightools.com /h1talk/_disc3/0000015e.htm   (128 words)

Bristol Jupiter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia It was built under license in France as the Gnome-Rhone Jupiter and in the Soviet Union as the M-22. The Bristol Jupiter was a British 9-cylinder one-row piston radial engine used in the 1930s and 1940s aircraft. In Japan, the Jupiter was license-built from 1924 by Nakajima, forming the basis of their own subsequent radial aero-engine design, the Kotobuki. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Bristol_Jupiter   (511 words)

Gnome et Rhône - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In 1921 they took out a license for the Bristol Jupiter, which was in the process of becoming the Gnome of its era. Not satisfied to simply produce Bristol designs under license, Gnome started a major design effort based around the mechanicals of the Titan. Between 1914 and 1918 they produced 25,000 of their 9-cylinder Delta and Le Rhône 110 hp (81 kW) rotary designs, while another 75,000 were produced by various licensees, powering the majority of aircraft in the first half of the war on both sides of the conflict. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Gnome_Rotary   (1928 words)

The Nord Noratlas & Transall C-160 The N-2500 was powered by two SNECMA-built Gnome-Rhone 14R radial engines with 1,195 kW (1,600 HP) each, and first flew on 10 September 1949. The Nord 2500 prototype left something to be desired, and led to the improved "Nord 2501", powered by two SNECMA-built Bristol Hercules 738 or 758 radials with 1,520 kW (2,040 HP) each. They are being supplemented by Airtech CN-234 twin-turboprop cargolifters, but the CN-235 is substantially smaller than the C-160, being nicknamed the "Transallito" in AdA service, and cannot be a full replacement. www.vectorsite.net /avnorat.html   (1995 words)

Middle East Open Encyclopedia: Dornier Do 17 They equipped it with the considerably better Gnome Rhône 14N radial engines and added a Hispano 20 mm cannon and three 7.92 mm Browning machine guns. After bomber production ended in 1940, the Z model was modified with a "solid" nose from the Ju 88C and fitted with one 20 mm MG FF cannon and three 7.92 mm MG 17s to be used as night fighters. One prototype was constructed as the Z-6 Kauz I (screech-owl), and then the design was further modified with a solid nose containing four 7.92 mm MG 17 machine guns and four 20 mm MG FF cannons to create the Do 17Z-10. www.baghdadmuseum.org /ref/index.php?title=Dornier_Do_17   (1949 words)

Gnome Monosoupape - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Monosoupape, French for single-valve, was a particular engine design used by Gnome et Rhône's later rotary engines. An internal-tooth ring gear mounted on the engine drove a stationary magneto mounted to the firewall, whose high-voltage output terminal passed in close proximity by the spark plug terminals. This had to be used sparingly, as the engine would continue to pull fuel into the crank and cylinders, so turning the ignition back on after too long a period could cause the engine to explode. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Monosoupape_engine   (846 words)

Modeling the VVS: Soviet Combat Aircraft, Vol.1 Review The 14 cylinder M-82 was an entirely original Shvetsov design, perhaps conceptually influenced-- as were all European 14 cylinder radials (BMW 801, Hispano-Suiza 14M, FIAT A74, etc.)-- by the French Gnome-Rhone 14B radial of 1932. Just look at the characteristics of two engines: It is known that M-82 was the original design of the Shvetsov team. vvs.hobbyvista.com /BookReviews/SCA   (1995 words)

IAR 80 IAR realized that the Mistral Major was the limits of its development potential even the middle of 1941 when the 1000A reached the same ultimate output as the Gnome-Rhône versions. The IAR 80 was a Romanian World War II fighter aircraft one of the few fighters from "smaller player" in the conflict that proved be as good as the enemy planes faced. As the fighter model was converting from A to B series with the addition the 13.2mm guns likewise the 81 model upgraded in the same fashion creating the By this point the only distinguishing feature the 80B and the 81A was the centerline bomb rack and both planes were built on a common assembly line. www.freeglossary.com /IAR_80   (1995 words)

Rumuńskie myśliwce IAR 80/81 okazały się godne respektu i niebezpieczne w walce przeciwko alianckim bombowcom podczas drogi nad Ploesti, tak że, amerykańskie dowództwo zdecydowało się na zniszczenie przeciwnika na jego własnych lotniskach.
