Wright R-3350 The new Wright R-1820 Cyclone 9 first ran successfully in 1935 and become one of the most-used aircraft engines the 1930s and WWII. Wright believes that the way to find the historical Jesus is, so to speak, by a pincer movement: forward from the pic... The result were two designs a somewhat shorter stroke a 14 cylinder that would evolve into the Wright R-2600 a much larger 18 cylinder design that the R-3350. www.freeglossary.com /Wright_R-3350-32W

Wright Cyclone 1820 radial engine Charles Lindbergh chose a Wright Whirlwind to power his Atlantic passage in 1927--a double compliment, since Spirit of St. Louis was a single-engined plane, with no backup if the Whirlwind faltered in mid-ocean. The Cyclone was designated R- 1820, for radial engine, displacing 1820 ci. Wright worked constantly at changing the cyclinder head and fin design of the Cyclone. www.warbirdforum.com /cyclone.htm

Curtiss Failures Designated the XP-60B, one prototype would be equipped with a Wright Turbo-charger (the XP-60A used a G.E. turbo). These were reasonably good numbers considering its rather meager 350 hp from a Wright R-760E2 powerplant. The CW-19R was capable of 190 mph with an initial climb rate of 1,890 ft./min. www.geocities.com /pentagon/quarters/9485/Curtiss2.html

XP-50 Info Two turbocharged Wright R-1820-40/42 engines were hung on the nacelles. The Air Corps had some differing requirements, and while generally similar to the XF5F-1, the nose had to be further elongated to accommodate the requested tricycle landing gear arrangement. www.daveswarbirds.com /usplanes/aircraft/xp-50.htm

Alexander de Seversky After a semicomic animated history of aviation, (including Alberto Santos-Dumont, Alexander de Seversky (himself), Billy Mitchell (himself), Charles Lindbergh, Orville Wright, Wilbur Wright, Sir John Alcock, and others) the film then describes Seversky's accomplishments, with the Major himself explaining his theories. Powered by a 350 horsepower Wright R-975-ET engine, the SEV-3 made its initial flight in June 1933. Shortly they outfitted it with the more powerful (420 HP) Wright J-6-9E, and with this engine, set a world speed record for amphibians of 180 MPH,on October 9, 1933. www.acepilots.com /wwi/pio_seversky.html

FM-2 Wildcat The FM-2 had a lighter, yet more powerful Wright R-1820 radial engine. The FM-2 also had a larger tail than the standard F4F to counter the increased torque produced by the Wright engine. Additionally, the plane carried four rather than six.50 caliber machine guns and was often fitted with HVARs (High-Velocity Aircraft Rockets) for use against ground targets, ships or surfaced submarines. www.cavanaughflightmuseum.com /Aircraft/Wildcat/Page1.html

The Martin Mariner, Mars, & Marlin Flying Boats Martin also designed a bigger version of the Model 130, the "Model 156", which was the same length but had a wider wingspan of 47.9 meters (157 feet), twin tailfins, and more powerful Wright R-1820-G2 Cyclones with 634 kW (850 HP) each. The PM-1 was a biplane, with a wingspan of 22.2 meters (72 feet 10 inches), a length of 14.9 meters (49 feet), an empty weight of 3,936 kilograms (8,680 pounds), and twin Wright R-1750D Cyclone radial engines with 394 kW (525 HP) each. The "Old Lady", as it would come to be known, was a monster, something along the lines of a scaled-up Mariner with a wingspan of 61 meters (200 feet), a length of 36 meters (117 feet), and an empty weight of 34.3 tonnes (75,573 pounds). www.vectorsite.net /avmars.html

Wright Surname Listing Wright is one of the progressive business men of his town, taking an intelligent interest in educational and religious institutions and has ever advanced the best interest of his town and town's people. Wright is one of the conservative men of his town, serving as collector of the town and has ever been recognized as a man of sterling integrity, whose life has proven his word as good as his bond.

Bell D-218 The planned engines, Wright R 1820 or Pratt and Whitney R 280, are to be so geared that the rotors may be driven by one engine alone should the other fail. This undated, unnumbered project consists of a kind of harmonica-shaped helicopter or flying wing, with a large rotor at each end intended to give the rotorcraft fast forward speed. They may also perhaps be replaced by gas turbines. avia.russian.ee /vertigo/bell_d-218-r.html

The F2A Brewster Buffalo, WWII US Fighter by Fiddlers Green It was to use a Wright R- 1820-22 engine; have hydraulically retractable landing gear; and be of all-metal stressed skin, flush-riveted construction. The power plant around which the original design was planned was the 950 hp Wright XR-1820-22, and the armament comprised two 050-in guns in the engine cowling plus two wing guns added later. Following its accident during carrier trials, the XF2A.1 had been returned to Brewster where the damage was repaired and a 1,200 hp R-1820-40 Wright engine installed. www.fiddlersgreen.net /aircraft/WWII/buffalo/buff_info/buff_info.htm

Warbird Alley: T-28 Trojan Two years later, 489 standardized versions ( T-28B s) were ordered by the Navy, mainly differing from the T-28A in its use of the more-powerful Wright R-1820-86 engine. The Trojan, as it became known, had a frameless canopy and a Wright R-1300 engine that, when combined, gave it a top speed that often exceeded 280 mph. After an evaluation of these prototypes and an initial flight on September 26, 1949, the Air Force was so impressed that it ordered production to begin on the newly designated T-28A. www.warbirdalley.com /t28.htm

Wright R-2600-13 "Cyclone" (Exerpted from North American Aviation Field Service Manual for B-25C and D) The Wright Cyclone, Model C14B, carries the Army Air Forces designation R-2600-13. The "R" stands for radial type of engine, "2600" stands for the number of cubic inches piston displacement, and the "13" is the model number. The engines are air-cooled, static, staggered, twin-row radial type having two speed superchargers. www.wpafb.af.mil /museum/engines/eng42a.htm

Wright R-1820 Cyclone 9 The name Cyclone was first used by Wright for their P-2 radial engine in 1925. The R-1820 was a improved version of the P-2 with higher displacement. www.pilotfriend.com /aircraft%20performance/aero_engines/engine_specs/Wright%20Aeronautical/6.htm

DVHAA Collection- Wright R-1820 The Wright R-1820 aircraft engine was one of the most widely used powerplants in aviation history. Versions of the Wright Cyclone have powered such aircraft as the 1930 Curtiss XP-20, Curtis P-36 Mohawk, Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress, Douglas Dauntless, Grumman S-2/C-1 Tracker/Trader, Sikorsky UH-34 SeaBat and North American T-28 Trojan. The engine is currently in storage, but can be viewed at the annual Wings of Freedom Airshow or by special appointment. www.dvhaa.org /r-1820.html

The Douglas C-47 Dakota Another C-39 was similarly fitted in production with uprated Wright R-1820-53 Cyclones and designated "C-42", with two more C-39s converted in the field to C-42 standards. The B-18A featured uprated Wright R-1820-53 engines with 746 kW (1,000 HP) each, an extended glass nose that gave the aircraft a somewhat more sharklike appearance, and replacement of the odd glass hatbox turret with a dorsal "greenhouse". The DC-3A featured Pratt and Whitney (PandW) R-1830 Twin Wasp radial engines with 746 kW (1,000 HP) each, and the DC-3B featured Wright R-1820-G-102 Cyclones with 820 kW (1,100 HP) each. www.vectorsite.net /avc47.html

Piasecki "Heli-Stat" Engine: 4 x Wright R-1820-84A rated 1525shp each, overall width: 60.05m, overall length: 74.07m, empty weight: 24895kg, gross weight: 50469kg, maximum speed: 132km/h, service ceiling: 3810m, range: 3307km, range with maximum payload: 80km The hybrid aircraft uses an airship-based envelope, attached via a skeletal structure to the front fuselage portions of four Sikorsky SH-34J helicopters, each powered by a standard Wright radial engine driving the conventional main rotor system and mounted at the four corners of the aircraft. The Piasecki Heli-Stat project began in the mid 1970s with a view to combining the lift capability of a lighter-than-air vehicle with the pre-cise manoeuvrability of the helicop-ter, and following support from the US Forestry Service and the US Navy, construction of a prototype Heli-Stat began at Lakehurst, New Jersey, in 1979. avia.russian.ee /vertigo/piasecki_helistat-r.html

MPM 1/72 Curtiss-Wright CW 21B Interceptor Aeroclub #E021 Wright R-1820F series Cyclone (could be different from the G-series) In short: it is a good model, except that the Wright Cyclone is simple, and the prop 5 mm too small in diameter. This can be solved with an Aeroclub #E021 Cyclone 1820 (the CW 21B has a R-1820-G5), and an Aeroclub #P026 Curtiss Electric prop. www.sml.lr.tudelft.nl /~home/rob/models/cw21b.htm
