| | TECH DATA: Multi-crankshafts opposed piston engines: Part 2 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) |
 | | This project had been launched in 1943 and progressed at a low level, as for the Jumo 223, since the prime development resources were reserved for the inverted V 12 Jumo 213 with direct gasoline injection, as well as for the Jumo 004 turbojets propelling the Messerschmitt 262 and Arado 234. |
 | | The Jumo 224 project made use of cylinder dimensions identical to those of the Jumo 207 D, that is to say 110·(2·160) for a displacement of 73 liters, and a power of some 4500 hp at 3000 rpm. |
 | | Contrary to the case of engines such as the Jumo 223 and 224 which were laid out in a square (or rhombus), the triangular construction of the Deltic meant it was necessary to mount an intake piston/ con-rod assembly and an exhaust one on the same crank pin. |
