Wright Radial R-2600 Twin Cyclone Aircraft Engine

---

The next engine is a Wright R-2600 Twin Cyclone with 14 air-cooled cylinders arranged in two rows. It produced 1,750 HP. One of the most famous aircraft to use this engine was the North American B-25 Mitchell — named in honor of General Billy Mitchell, a pioneer of military aviation. Nearly 10,000 were built — one of which is in the CAF collection although it was not in Arizona the day I visited. BTW, if you are interested you can sign up for a ride on their B-25 — $395 to $650 depending on where you sit.
