The paper addresses the broad and evolving field of aircraft engine design, noting its extensive scope. It aims to sketch the highlights of aircraft engine design, outlining its development to date, future possibilities, and underlying fundamental principles. The review shows that water‑cooled engines now cover power ranges from 150 to 800 HP, while air‑cooled engines span the 200 to 400 HP classes.
From Introduction: The subject of this paper is so broad in scope that a large volume might be devoted to it. In a short paper of this kind it is possible simply to sketch in the high lights of aircraft engine design showing the development to date, the possibilities of the future, and the underlying fundamental principles. Summarizing this development and referring to the graph (Fig.1), we that there is now a water-cooled engine in every power from 150 to 800 HP. and an air-cooled engine in the 200 to 400 HP. classes.
