Pratt & Whitney R-4360


Photo of a Pratt & Whitney R-4360 on a display stand. Note the size of the engine compared to the boy underneath the engine.


Brass Main Bearing with cam gear ring & cam gear bearing holes. The bearing is mounted in an aluminum fixture for machining.


Four aluminum engine case segments are bolted together being machined for cylinder placement. There are 28 cylinders of 1” bore and 1 ¼” stroke.

A Solidworks drawing of the engine. I have drawn most of the engine including all internal parts to ensure proper fit and location. The engine will have 28 cylinders, 7 independent electronic ignitions, a pressure and scavenge oil pump. 5 main bearings, & 5 cams.
