Specifications
The Engine
The engine, the famous
Vedeneyev M14, is a nine-cylinder geared radial engine. In the normal
"P" version, it produces 360 hp+. The "PF" version produces 400
hp+.
The M14 has oil and
fuel systems that are completely functional at all attitudes and
power settings, and a fully automatic mixture control. The geared
engine spins a 100", three-blade, composite propeller turning at
two-thirds the engine RPM while producing maximum horsepower and
thrust at all power settings.
Some versions of the
M14P are used to power light-weight generating plants and are expected
to run for 20,000 hours without maintenance. This gives you an indication
of the engine's superior reliability. |
