Synopsis
The rotary aero engine has always fascinated aviation historians and enthusiasts. When the 50hp Gnome appeared in 1908, it was the most powerful engine for its weight available and was used by almost all the notable pioneers to set records for height, speed and endurance. Rotaries also played a key role in the First World War, powering many of the famous 'fighting scouts' such as the Sopwith Camel and Fokker Monoplane. In this book, Andrew Nahum gives an original and well-argued explanation, showing that rotary development was limited by a 'power ceiling' which was a basic consequence of design.

rotary aero engine
8. Juni 2002
Format:Taschenbuch
This is how technological history should be written. Great argument, explaining why the rotary came and went and great selection of historical pictures, beautifully presented. And nicely concise!
Well written, very informative, and worth searching for.

If you have a strong interest in the aircraft of the WWI era, this book is almost a necessity. You can't really fully understand the design, and piloting, of classic aircraft like the Sopwith Camel and Fokker Triplane unless you understand the rotary engine. This book gave me a much greater appreciation of the accomplishments, and shortfallings, of those designs. And now I know why the rotary disappeared at the end of the great war.
The book is out of print and has to be found used. The price will be rather high for the size book that it is (64 pages). It's worth the search and the extra money.

THE last word on WWI rotary engines!

The book is simply fantastic! It is, as far as I'm concerned, the last word on rotary engines. It's a slim volume, but very complete and exceptionally informative.
Nahum's style is direct and conversational. He presents technical concepts in a way that is easy to understand and his arguments about how and why rotary engines fell from use so quickly after the war are well-informed and very compelling.
In the process of describing the history and function of rotary engines, Nahum debunks the persistent myths that follow nearly every mention of these types of engines regarding castor oil, the lack of throttles, etc.
I got my copy very inexpensively from an independent bookseller through Amazon.
