	Wright R-3350 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The result were two designs with a somewhat shorter stroke, a 14 cylinder design that would evolve into the Wright R-2600, and a much larger 18 cylinder design that became the R-3350.
		The new Wright R-1820 Cyclone 9 first ran successfully in 1935, and would become one of the most-used aircraft engines in the 1930s and WWII.
		In 1927 Wright Aeronautical introduced their famous Cyclone engine, which powered a number of designs in the 1930s.

		The B-25 was a mid-wing cantilever monoplane powered by two Wright Cyclone R-2600-13 two-row radial air-cooled engines providing a top speed of 485 kmh and a range of 4240 km.
		The Consolidated Vultee B-32 Dominator carried a crew of eight, and was powered by four Wright R-3350-23 engines providing a top speed of 675 kmh and a range of 1280 km fully laden, a maximum range of 6080 km.
		The B-25 carried a crew of between four and six and was variously armed depending upon model but had an internal bomb-bay capable of carrying 3000 lb of bombs and 2400 lb of bombs on external wing racks and a 2150 lb torpedo partly in the bomb-bay.

		Although there was thought of fitting the B-18 with uprated Wright R-2600-3 Cyclone 14 radial engines with 1,195 kW (1,600 HP) each, with this improved variant to be given the new designation of "B-22", but it never happened.
		The DC-1 was a low-wing monoplane, with a capacity of 12 passengers, and twin Wright Cyclone R-1820 air-cooled radial engines driving three-bladed propellers.
		Evaluations of the DB-1 and its competitors, the Boeing "Model 299" and the "Martin 146", were conducted by the USAAC at Wright Field in August 1935.

	Wright R-3350 - Wikipedia
		Ne scaturirono alla fine due progetti caratterizzati anch'essi da una doppia stella e da cilindri a corsa corta: un 14 cilindri che verrà sviluppato nel motore R-2600 e un 18 cilindri che diverrà il motore Wright R-3350.
		Da questo progetto scaturì il Wright R-1820 Cyclone 9 la cui produzione iniziò nel 1935 e che diverrà uno dei motori più utilizzati negli anni '30 e nella seconda guerra mondiale.
		Nel 1935 la Wright decise di seguire su questa strada la Pratt and Whitney e iniziò a sviluppare un motore più grande e più potente partendo dalla meccanica del Cyclone.

	Douglas XBLR-2/XB-19
		Following the completion of its series of flight tests, the XB-19 was eventually modified at Wright Field as a cargo aircraft and fitted with four 2600 hp Allison V-3420-11 turbosupercharged twenty-four cylinder liquid cooled engines, which was the production version of the engine that had originally been specified for the aircraft.
		Four Wright R-3350-5 eighteen-cylinder air-cooled radials rated at 2000 hp each for takeoff and 1500 hp at 15,700 feet.
		By late 1937, enough R & D funds had been made available so that a contract change calling for the construction of a single prototype under the designation XB-19 was issued on November 19, 1937, but not approved until March 8, 1938.

		The nacelles of the Wright Cyclones were extended aft of the wing.
		Eight more B-25s were built with the original continuous wing dihedral, but Wright Field tests showed that this feature led to some directional instability, including the phenomenon of "Dutch roll".

	Facts about topic: (Lockheed Ventura)
		The main differences between the Ventura and the O-56 was in the engines: rather than the 2,000 hp (1,490 kW) Pratt and Whitney R-2800 radials of the Ventura, the O-56 used 1,700 hp (1,270 kW) Wright R-2600 (additional info and facts about Wright R-2600) -13 radials.
		The Lockheed Ventura was a bomber and patrol aircraft of World War II (A war between the Allies (Australia, Belgium, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, China, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Czechoslovakia, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Ethiopia, France, Greece, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, India, Iran, Iraq, Luxembourg, Mexico, Netherl), used by American and British forces in several guises.
		This was the primary event that demonstrated the Ventura's weakness in such raids: of the 47, nine of the bombers were downed.

		It was found the XF6F-1 was marginally slower than the Zero, thus the change from the Wright R-2600 to the Pratt-Whitney Double Wasp R-2800 with an output of 2,000 hp (1,493 kW) for take-off and 1,975 hp (1,474 kW) at 17,000 ft (5,182 m).
		Less than a year later, on 26 June 1942, the first prototype (the XF6F-1, with a Wright R-2600 Cyclone engine) flew for the first time.
		Top Navy ace, David McCampbell told of watching the piston and connection rod "popping in and out" of the mangled Pratt-Whitney "Double Wasp" engine as he struggled to fly the pieces of his Hellcat back to the carrier.

	Grumman XP-50
		Lockheed submitted its Model 522, which was an adaptation of the P-38 powered by either Pratt and Whitney XH-2600 or Wright R-2160 turbosupercharged engines.
		Design 41 was an aircraft quite similar to Design 34 (XF5F-1) but was powered by a pair of Wright R-1820 radials fitted with turbosuperchargers.
		However, the Army saw sufficient merit in Grumman's Design 41 that they encouraged the company to submit a revised design, just for insurance in case the XP-49 ran into problems.

		By May 8, 1941, it had been redesigned with four 1800 hp Wright R-2600-15 radials and twin tails.

		However, the entire B-33 project was cancelled on November 25, 1942 so that Martin-Omaha could concentrate on the manufacture of the B-29 Superfortress.

		Both were similar to the DB-7B, the A-20 was to be fitted with turbosupercharged Wright R-2600-7 engines, but these were bulky and the prototype suffered cooling problems, so the remainder were completed with the un-supercharged R-2600-11, 59 as P-70 fighters and 3 as F-3 reconnaissance planes (of which more later).
		20 Havocs were Havoc Mk I (Pandora) intruder aircraft, trailing the Long Aerial Mine (LAM) which was an explosive charge trailed on a long cable in the path of enemy aircraft in the hope of scoring a hit.
		The aircraft was known as the "Boston" among Commonwealth airforces, while the night fighter variants were known as the "Havoc." The USAAF assigned the DB-7 the designation "A-20" and gave it the popular name "Havoc," adopted from the RAF moniker.
