Power and heat stress conditions of geometrically similar engines are discussed; advantages accruing from smaller cylinder dimensions are higher specific horsepower, lower weight per horsepower, lower piston temperature, and less frontal area, with reduced detonation tendency. English translation of paper indexed in Engineering Index 1939 p 617, from Jahrbuch 1938 der Deutsche Luftfahrtforschung.
