Awesome. Sounds like an MB diesel cranking up on a cold morning. I think I will make that my new Windows startup wave. That should drive everybody in the office crazy.

One of my brothers is an M.E. Though he works in aerospace, he's had a major automotive addiction since I gave him my well-used 1964 F-100 back in the 1970's. Since those days he rebuilt his 1980's Challenger and RX-7 engines and so forth. Now he's being a doting daddy of twins so autos are no longer the time consumer of his life.
Anyway, we were discussing the in-line vs V design and the subject of radial engines came up. Has a radial ever been put into a car? Bot

i think the tucker was originally designed for one.
there may have been a tatra or such in eastern europe with one, but i am not sure about that. it was considered in the early design of several cars i remember reading but it escapes me which except for the tucker. i think it laid flat with the crank vertically mounted. i seem to remember a very early car prototype in which the radial engine rotated on a fixed crank. i have never seen a picture but it makes something to strain the imagination. tom w

I like loud radials, or any loud engine.
So I plug the pc into the stereo to crank up the download and get my wife mad (don't really know which is more fun), but I can not download it. I don't have permision??? Does AN2Flyers know my wife? Help?

Must have been a transient problem. It works for me. Nice sounding engine when it does get going.
Kind of reminds me of "The Flight of the Phoenix." The original one, as I haven't seen the new remake. Cool engine on that too, but it uses gunpowder charges to start rather than an electric motor.

Radial seems to make more sense for planes
The radial engine makes sense in a plane. I can't imagine using it in a car, though. Has anyone used it in a boat? I could see that. It seems like the top of the engine would have to stick up in front of the driver in order to have enough ground clearance in a car.

Wasn't there a tank with a radial engine?

M4s did.

The M4A2: General Motors 6046; 12 cylinder (6/engine), 2 cycle, twin in-line diesel The M4A3: Ford GAA; 8 cylinder, 4 cycle, 60° V8 gasoline The M4A4: Chrysler A57; 30 cylinder, 4 cycle, multibank gasoline No A5. The M4A6 also ran a radial. And it was a diesel.: Ordnance Engine RD-1820; 9 cylinder, 4 cycle, radial diesel Sorry - Probably more about M4s then you wanted to know.

An odd sounding aircraft.
In college (Northern AZ), I flew fire bombers for the USFS. We had a Lockheed P2V-3 Neptune from Evergreen based out of Prescott during the fire season. It had Two 3,500-hp Wright R-3350 radials, and two 3,400-lb thrust Westinghouse J34 turbojets. You talk about an odd sounding aircraft.
Even with what seems like plenty of power. They still had to block the traffic on HW89 when we took off fully loaded on a hot day. Otherwise after clearing the end of the runway, the service road, two holes of the golf course and a fence line, we’d still smack a semi if they didn’t.
