	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.

	The Curtiss-Wright Corporation
		The Wright R-3350 "Cyclone" was one of the most powerful radial aircraft engines produced in the United States.
		Wright engines also powered the DC-1/DC-2, and DC-3 aircraft and enabled Douglas to design the DC-1 as a twin-engine plane rather than as a tri-engine.
		There was really only one company—Pratt and Whitney—competing with Wright for the engine market, and the extreme precision needed to produce engines prevented other companies from joining the industry.

	Wright Aeronautical
		The success of Wright's excellent R-3350 led to its late entry in turbojet development.
		Both Curtiss aircraft and Wright engines declined rapidly in the early 1950s and were effectively out of the airframe and aircraft engine business by the end of the decade.
		Wright's president, chief engineer and chief designer left in 1924 to form Pratt and Whitney.

	Douglas XBLR-2/XB-19
		Four Wright R-3350-5 eighteen-cylinder air-cooled radials rated at 2000 hp each for takeoff and 1500 hp at 15,700 feet.
		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.
		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.

	Curtiss-Wright Corp. Investor Relations
		Wright State is a nationally known repository that maintains more than 70 collections documenting the history of aviation, including one of the most complete collections of Wright brothers' material in the world.
		The museum in Washington, and the Wright State University Special Collections and Archives in Dayton, Ohio, have agreed to joint custodianship of the Curtiss-Wright engine blueprints collection to better preserve it for posterity.
		Innovative designs that are featured in the collection include: the 610 horsepower V-1400 racing engine that powered Jimmy Doolittle's Schneider Trophy-winning Curtiss R3C-2; the 225 horsepower J-5 Whirlwind that carried Lindbergh across the Atlantic in the Spirit of St. Louis; and the 2,200 horsepower R-3350 turbosupercharged radials of the Boeing B-29 Enola Gay.

	Curtiss-Wright Corporation - A Brief History
		Wright Aeronautical - producer of the great air-cooled radial engines that would power US fighter and bomber aircraft in World War II Curtiss Propeller Division - originator of the Electric Propeller, a leading manufacturer of props in the high power range during World War II.
		Wright Aeronautical soon lost some of its engineering talent to a small machine shop, Pratt and Whitney, whose first product was another superlative radial engine, the Pratt and Whitney Hornet.
		Wright Cyclones powered Jimmy Doolittle's sixteen B-25's that took off from the aircraft carrier dubbed "Shangri-La" off the coast of Japan and bombed Tokyo, Nagoya and other cities a few months after Pearl Harbor.

	Wright R-3350-32W
		The Wright R-3350 "Duplex-Cyclone" was one of the most powerful radial aircraft engines produced in the United States.
		The R-3350 is a twin row, supercharged, air-cooled, radial engine with 18 cylinders and a displacement of 3,350 cubic inches.
		Some European truck manufacturers are claiming this as an "advance" however Curtis Wright had the answer in the 1950's.

		En Wright 1927 aeronáutico introdujo su motor famoso del ciclón, que accionó un número de diseños en los años 30.
		En 1935 Wright decidía seguir el terminal de P&W, y comenzado a desarrollar motores mucho más grandes basados en los mechanicals del ciclón.
		Era una fila gemela, un motor sobrealimentado, refrigerado, radial con 18 cilindros y una dislocación de 3.350 inch³ (55 L).

	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.

		The nacelles of the Wright Cyclones were extended aft of the wing.
		Two Wright R-2600-9 Double Cyclone fourteen-cylinder air-cooled radials, each rated at 1700 hp for takeoff and 1500 hp at 2400 rpm.
		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".

	P5M Marlin
		Power was by two Wright R-3350 radial engines.
		The hull, somewhat inspired by the Japanese Kawanishi H8K of World War II, did not lift sharply from the water at the tail, instead rising up steadily; this gave the aircraft a longer base of flotation and reduced "porpoising" over waves.
		The Marlin was designed as a gull-winged aircraft to lift the engines and propellers high above the spray.

	Bristol Britannia
		Unlike the Britannia the Argus was built for endurance, not speed, and so used four Wright R-3350-32W Turbo-Compound engines which use very little fuel (although it is perhaps surprising that it did not use the Napier Nomad, an even more efficient turbo-compound designed expressly for this role).
		The interior was left with almost no room to move, completely packed with various sensors and weapons.
		A licence was also issued to Canadair to build the type as a maritime reconnaissance aircraft and transport, the Canadair Argus.

		One engine that should be studied is the Wright R 3350 war bird engine.
		HOW EVER, the library is full of conditions and test data over the last 100 years about difficult engines and how the tuners were able to get around the detonation problems and get very high H.P., or efficiency.
		I talked with a person that worked hands on in the development of this engine and he had quite a few stories to tell.

		Die Wright Cyclone Motoren waren anfällig für Fehler und Triebwerksbrände, und der weit verbreitete Witz, die Constellation sei das beste dreimotorige Flugzeug der Welt, hatte mehr als einen Funken Wahrheit: am 18.
		Die vier Wright-Sternmotoren brachten die Passagiere sicher ans Ziel, auch wenn nicht immer alle 4 Motoren durchhielten.
		Juni 1946 verlor eine L.049 der Pan American über dem Atlantik einen Motor durch einen Brand, das komplette Triebwerk brach ab und fiel ins Meer.

	Betexa ZS s.r.o. - B-29 A1 BN "Superfortress"
		Most important, its four supercharged Wright R-3350-23 engines gave it the range to carry large bomb loads across the vast reaches of the Pacific Ocean.
		Technically a generation ahead of all other heavy bomber types in World War II, the Superfortress was pressurized for high altitudes and featured remotely-controlled gun turrets.
		In early 1944 the Army Air Forces started its program to develop an atomic bomb delivery capability using the B-29 aircraft.

		Click on the Wright R-3350 for example and note the round extension from the center of the engine which houses this gear set.
		Wright engines turn a few hundred RPM less, they have larger diameter jugs (keep your mind out of the gutter!) so they need a little more time to "fill up".
		I haven't worked on Wright engines, i'm trying to think if the R-1820 (B-17, T-28, S-2F) is geared or not.

	Hasegawa 1/72 SP-2H Neptue 'Canadian Air Force'
		Work was begun on the aircraft in late 1941 at the Vega company, and required a pair of 2,000 hp engines; the Wright R 3350's being the preferred power plant.
		The P2V Neptune was borne of an early 1940's requirement for a long range, land based Navy patrol bomber.
		Initial work was slow, and frequently sidelined by more pressing needs following the bombing of Pearl Harbor, but by mid-1943 the Navy had decided to press forward with the project and a letter of intent for two prototypes was issued.
