R-4360 Pratt & Whitney engine

[kuvuakoj]

how com the valve didnt open

[AntoMelta]

I am very happy to see the vidoe after you give this R-4360 Pratt & Whitney engine

[willamricard]

I Love The Video It Can Increase My Knowledge cubic inch turbo-supercharged engine makes 3,500 HP. 28 cyls; 56 plugs. Pima Air Museum.

Steady I Really Like This Video R-4360 Pratt & Whitney engine

[Melehete]

Good, I like that you share this video R-4360 Pratt & Whitney engine, I wish success always

[NganaJHone]

Nice Video R-4360 Pratt & Whitney engine That You Share , So Very Nice Thanks You

[bundawartini]

Your Video Is Very Useful Sharing 4,363 cubic inch turbo-supercharged engine makes 3,500 HP. 28 cyls; 56 plugs.

[bujashaka]

that was long.

[hpisavagecrazy]

me and my dad made shiped them in his truck

[Blaze0357]

SCREW SR.!!!!!

[Blaze0357]

Let's see the guys at "Paul Jr. Designs" put that in a Harley Davidson frame. YEAH!

[Blaze0357]

It's realy cool but I wish it was longer. Thanks for sharing :) LOL That's funny Timothy....It's True!

[irish89055]

" this is the major....."

[helirious]

This would never work, oil wouldn't stay in

[bobbbhalicious]

Pull the 2800s off of a ch-37, replace them with two of THESE! Now, THAT'S a BUFF!

[SH1974]

I feel always sad when i see the innards of a beautiful engine.

I'd rather see and hear it idle, or working under load...

[realvanman1]

@SH1974 You've got that right! Nauseating to think of someone cutting up a beautiful antique!

[fiddlinjd]

weird question, to anyone who actually worked on these... do you know the thickness of the knuckle pin retainers?? and any other fun geometry facts about the retainers specifically?

[BillyRosinet]

Unfortunately, just as the engine video started I sneezed and when I looked at the screen again, a Justin Bieber video was playing.

[hammerogod]

There is another cut-away example of a 4360 in the Omniplex in OKC.

Amazing mechanical technology.

I worked with 3350s and a few 4360s way back in the mid 60's.

They are works of art.

[JBofBrisbane]

As used also by the Boeing C-97 Stratofreighter and Model 377 Stratocruiser, unless I'm mistaken.

[DandAinTac]

@JBofBrisbane And the Boeing B-50 (a derivative of the B-29), and also Howard Hughes' Spruce Goose, which had 8 of them! (although that was barely enough power to get that monstrosity into the air a few feet).

[63gstone]

I'm surprised Youtube didn't make us watch a 30 second commercial for this.

[DaMastaOfRoad]

is that in seattle?

[ucw458]

These engines had short runtimes. They had to be rebuilt regularly because the back row of cylinders didn't get enough cooling.

[everluik]

28 cyl chais trec

[MOJONIXION]

This engine was also know as a "corn-cob" engine.

[TIMOTHYSAARINEN]

I blinked and missed the entire video. Why so damn short?

[MotorsbyShooter]

@TIMOTHYSAARINEN so damn short...Hell...I had to take a lunch break while watching.

[FrenchValleyAirport]

@TIMOTHYSAARINEN damn it takes you a long ass times to blink, i immitated it and it took forever haha

[kolbpilot]

That's an amazing story about the spark plugs. I knew the quanity. but to force someone to change them all for kicks is sadistic.

[carlosmurphy4u1]

Why was the vid soooo long?

[crosscoupled]

How the hell did these things oil?Dry sump?scavenge pumps?Just curious

[markterry95]

I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure castor oil was added (separated, not fully mixed in) to the fuel and distributed through the cylinders - although apparently it was prone to leaking through valve chambers and exhaust ports, and splattering pilots!

[tabrizkeshan]

Dry sump with external oil tank. There were 4 of them on the C-124s I worked on as an engine mechanic, USAF. The PW4360 was not fun to maintain.

[localcrew]

@tabrizkeshan My dad was a USAF pilot and used to fly the C-124. Maybe you kept him flyin' back in the day?

[shloop4]

why hasent somebody mounted four of these in the back of a van or something XD

[flyingdan112]

They so, SO should. An idea for Clarkson, perhaps...

[Ranzear]

Because just one weighs more than the van?

[JETZcorp]

Who gives a shit if it weighs more than the van. Re-enforce the van with some great plates of steel, wrap the tires around great steel donuts, and replace the suspension with railroad... rails. When it comes time to make a van from Hell, there's no reason to beat around the bush.

[Truthseekerfinder]

I used to know a B-36 FE. He said they would haze new guys by making them remove, clean, and replace all the park plugs on a B-36.

That's 336 spark plugs, folks. Dang.

28 cylinders per engine. 2 spark plugs per cylinder. 6 engines. Do the math....

[battechno]

is this a B-36 turbo prop engine?

[TwiMet]

The B-36 Peacemaker had 6 of these piston engines. They are not turboprops. Some B-36's also had 2 turbojets on each wing for a total of 10 engines on each plane.

[bigmrclean]

WOW....that's freakin amazing!

[xRAMxDOD]

@TwiMet 2 pylons of 4 jet engines

[chubsmagoo]

@TwiMet 6 turnin and 4 burnin

[D342DIESEL]

Seen that exact one.

[kevinskaggs46]

Been there! Seen that very display! My grandparents live right down the road. I love that place.

[305yarray]

i'm feeling naughty at the moment 8

[rootbeer4969]

I saw one of these at the Udvar-Hazy Air and Space Museum near Dulles Airport in Virginia. This engine is bigger than two refrigerators in your kitchen laid end to end. It's enormous. You have to see it to believe the majesty of the machining in it. Purely awesome...

[kirkmach32]

Yummy.

[Harves77]

The Corsair F2G had this engine.

If I remember correctly they put out 3,500HP roughly in the first variants, and eventually got around 4,300HP using twin turbo's and a supercharger.

4,360 cubic inches which is roughly 71.5L.

Redline was a whopping 2,700rpm. haha

[woodscritter]

You can't have prop-tip going supersonic, you know. Larger prop-diameter, lower red-line.

[M1CHAZZ]

Father was a flight enginer on C-119 that had

them in Korea & after he came home he worked

in the test cells where they MFG these engines

[irish89055]

yes, my dad's C-119 had those engines.. said they were a maintenance pain.. not all c-119s had these ..

[Bergstaller01]

not the most reliable engines out there, they often overheated and caught fire

[tuutuutango]

Imagine being the mechanic who had to work on these beasts back in the "old-days" in unheated hangers on a cold winter day.

After WW2, my pilot father worked as a mechanic (not many pilot jobs after the war by the way) and he told me stories of having to replace jugs on the double-row Wasps in the winter after the war... That would make most folks want a desk job...

[killermalibu]

This is the exact model we had at ECAT. Very cool to watch it work.

[WSUIN02]

Did you shoot this at the Hill Aerospace Museum?

[Avak2]

Feh. How many people have an R-4360? Hah. I have an R-2800.

[huxypoo]

That's actually 28 cylinders...4 rows with 7 cylinders in each row. And yes, it is badass.

[masm60]

What is it used for?

[kzar33]

The Convair B-36 used 6 of those. They were the largest aircraft radials ever made.

[bryantaylor01]

wow cool stuff
