Animation of the engine as it would have been seen looking at the front of the aircraft. The Siemens-Halske Sh.III was an 11-cylinder counter rotary engine. [1] The Sh.III's propeller and cylinders were connected, these rotated anti-clockwise when viewed from the front of the aircraft (clockwise when viewed from the pilot's seat) while the crankshaft rotated clockwise.
When Siemens & Halske merged parts of its activities with Schuckert & Co., Nuremberg in 1903 to become Siemens-Schuckert, Siemens & Halske AG specialized in communications engineering. During World War I, rotary engines of advanced and unusual design were produced under the Siemens-Halske brand, like the Siemens-Halske Sh.I and Sh.III.

The Fl 282 Kolibri was an improved version of the Flettner Fl 265 announced in July 1940, which pioneered the same intermeshing rotor configuration that the Kolibri used. It had a 7.7 litre displacement, seven-cylinder Siemens-Halske Sh 14 radial engine of 110–120 kW (150–160 hp) mounted in the center of the fuselage, with a transmission mounted on the front of the engine from which a ...
The Albatros D.XI was a German single-seat fighter sesquiplane first flown in February 1918. It was the first Albatros fighter to use a rotary engine, in the form of the 120 kW (160 hp) Siemens-Halske Sh.III, and also featured a new wing construction with diagonal struts from the fuselage replacing traditional wire bracing.
The close cooperation with Russia provided the newly established Siemens & Halske with consistent orders for 15 years and promoted the company's development. [1] On 25 October 1879, German engineer Carl Siemens received permission to manufacture insulated wire and telegraph cables in a factory he had established in St. Petersburg. [2]
The Siemens-Schuckert D.III was a German single-seat fighter built by Siemens-Schuckert Werke. The D.III was a development of the earlier Siemens-Schuckert D.IIc prototype. [ 1 ] The D.III was an (nearly) equal-span biplane powered by a 160 hp (119 kW) Siemens-Halske Sh.III bi-rotary engine.
