If this is the same engine I'm thinking of, it had to be geared down a huge amount to turn the blades on the B-36 without the blades cavitating. Lovely effort!
In early 1942 ,My Dad worked at PW and saw one of these 4360 installed on a P47 w Hamilton /counter/rotating prop. He said "In a demo run it went 100 ft down the runway and straight up in the air clean out of sight in very little time.They had NEVER seen a prop plane ever do that before.,ever !
@Polybun I guess you're right about being a professional movie maker with your flat land video you have, so I guess you're pretty much the go to guy on quality. You're a putz.
Great to see the old engine running. Great job, thanks for keeping the R4360 around. I had only seen cutaways of this monster prior to seeing all the videos you have up. It sounds great, but thats a radial for you!
Nothing on Earth sounds like a P & W radial. I used to love watching the Stearmans take off when I was younger. I would get as close to the runway that I could and when they idled by me the ground would literally shake. When they throttled up for their take off roll my whole body would vibrate. Thanks for keeping these sounds around for a newer generation!

Work of art. It is a wonder that they even ran. Everything had to go perfect, every time. A&P's on these engines were true artist.
