Post 3 - Soviet Experimental Low Profile Piston Aircraft Engine


Quote and photo from Monino Aviation Museum

"Unusual experimental engine with cylinders parallel to output shaft. A piston can be seen in the cut-away at upper left. The design was intended to allow for a more streamlined engine nacelle."

Note the grooved track crankshaft and connecting rod idler wheel arrangement.
