Abstract
Abstract The aeronautical engine is emerging from the stage of invention to the stage of design, and this paper suggests steps to be taken towards the satisfactory solution of the problem. It resolves the engine into a light, high-tensioned steel structure, consisting of seamless tubing and forged or welded steel parts, possibly formed in drop-forge dies. To this steel stress structure are added certain members, such as the piston, exhaust valve and guide, designed primarily for heat-flow conditions and not for stresses; and certain closing members, such as the ports for the intake and exhaust, which can be very properly cast in aluminum, and the water jacket; and the oil crankcase closure, which can be made of any material desired.
