THIS paper recounts, step by step and model by model, the development of the Allison V-1710 aircraft engine - the first liquid-cooled military aircraft engine in production in this country.Since 1930, when the design of this V-type 12-cyl engine was initiated, the powerplant has been stepped up from 650 hp without supercharging to 1000-1500 hp in its supercharged state, and the weight has increased from about 1000 lb to 1320 lb, the author reveals.The following three underlying reasons are given for building the first V-1710 engine: Additional advantages discussed are flexibility of radiator installation and of engine location.
