Wasp Major R-4360 Engine Cutaway

In addition to a standard Wasp Major R-4360, the museum also has a cutaway version of the engine.

With four rows of seven cylinders developing 3,500 horespower, this was the largest piston aircraft engine to be mass-produced in the United States.

This engine was used on some of the largest military aircraft, including the C-97 Stratofreighter, KC-97 Stratotanker, B-50 Superfortress, and B-36 Peacemaker, as well as the original Pregnant Guppy.
