| Stephen Samuel Winkler Canyon Country, CA | The Allison V-3420 in-line, liquid-cooled engines had twenty-four cylinders. Earlier, Lockheed had modified the Boeing B-17 with the Allison V-1710 in-line, liquid-cooled, twelve-cylinder engines to increase performance and power in the Lockheed XB-38 and the Boeing Company atttempted to do the same thing with the Boeing B-29. However, heavy demands for the Allison engines by other aircraft led to the cancellation of both projects. 03/09/2006 @ 10:58 [ref: 12745] |
| Dave , VA | Those are liquid cooled engines. They are Allison V-3420's. This is essentially a pair of Allison V-1710 twelve-cylinder liquid-cooled Vee engines coupled to a single propeller shaft. 03/09/2004 @ 01:05 [ref: 6936] |
| T. ALLISON , PA | The engines on this bomber appear to be liquid cooled, inline type, not the radials that were on the B50. 02/19/2002 @ 21:41 [ref: 4355] |
