      • My favorite war-bird. Proof that if you put enough engines on anything, it will fly.

                  I believe it was for hauling rocket components.

                    The core booster for the Energia Rocket back in the Soviet days. This was the rocket needed to carry the Buran shuttle to orbit.

                        • B29 Wright R-3350 Duplex-Cyclone engine run. A real motor. One of the most powerful radial aircraft engines produced in the United States. It was a twin-row, supercharged, air-cooled, radial engine with 18 cylinders. Power ranged from 2,200 to over 3,700 hp (1,640 to 2,760 kW),depending on the model. This is the #4 motor out of "Doc"

                            Didn't those things have a tendancy for the 2nd row to catch fire because they ran so dang hot? Think I remember hearing that they had like a 50 hour service life before they had to go through a total rebuild.
