A radial engine is a type of internal combustion engine where the cylinders are arranged in a circle around a central crankshaft. This design is commonly used in aircraft due to its compact structure and ability to be air-cooled effectively. The radial layout ensures even weight distribution and strong performance, making it popular in early aviation. The engine works by having each cylinder fire in a specific sequence, with each piston driving the crankshaft. A master-and-slave rod system conne
