While American engine builders have plugged away for years on the development of the air-cooled radial engine, now close to perfection, German designers have worked at the liquid-cooled, in-line power plant. Result for the U. S.: the radial engine, with cylinders ranged like the spokes of a wheel around a short crankshaft, has grown to such size that its drag on the high-speed airplane is now of alarming proportions. (Head resistance increases as the square of the speed, e.g., if speed is tripled, drag becomes nine times as great.) Results for German designers: the in-line...
