We have seen lots of discussion on automobile engine configuration. Let me ask
a similar question from the aviation field. You must have seen images of prop
planes with all cylinders exposed. I have seen up to 8 cylinders positioned
radially in a circular fashion with the prop at the center of the circle.
This arrangement always brings up a geometric dilemma. How can one crankshaft
throw accomodate 8 rods or are the pistons displaced but not visible from the
outside.
