Compound Engine May Lengthen Range Of Future Planes
Wright Aeronautical engineers have created a composite engine that blends piston and turbine functions into a single unit. Tested on a Lockheed P2V 4 Neptune, the design produced 350 hp with the same fuel use as a 2700 hp piston unit, improving takeoff and range. The Neptune’s non-stop range could extend beyond 11,238 miles with this engine, promising quieter operation and fuel efficiency. The project, ongoing since 1946, aims to boost long-range aviation performance.
