In this video, we look at the rotary-radial engine.
We'll see the Gnome with its famous valve in the piston.
The monosoupape, which had a single valve and ports.
And the Le Rhone. The latter was more efficient, although conventional.
The former didn't have a carburetor, only a pseudo fuel injector.
Three machines that dominated the skies at the beginning of the 20th century.
One of them was commanded by the Red Baron in his plane.
