The engine is the largest reciprocating engine in the world. The 14-cylinder version first entered commercial service in September 2006 aboard the Emma Mærsk. The design is similar to the older RTA96C engine, but with common rail technology (in place of traditional camshaft, chain gear, fuel pump and hydraulic actuator systems).
The Lycoming XR-7755 was the largest piston aircraft engine ever built in the United States, [Note 1] with 36 cylinders totaling about 7,750 in 3 (127 L) of displacement and a power output of 5,000 horsepower (3,700 kilowatts). It was originally intended to be used in the "European bomber" that eventually emerged as the Convair B-36. Only two ...
One of the most powerful electric locomotives ever built, it also is the most powerful (short term) single-frame locomotive ever built (currently [when?] its maximum short term power is limited to 12,000 horsepower (8,948 kW)); It has immense short term power with a tractive effort of 312 kN up to a speed of 140 km/h (87 mph). DB Class 151
The Big Boy has the longest engine body of any reciprocating steam locomotive, longer than two 40-foot buses. [12] They were also the heaviest reciprocating steam locomotives ever built; the combined weight of the 772,250 lb (350,290 kg) engine and 436,500 lb (198,000 kg) tender outweighed a Boeing 747. [12]
It is one of three engines for the 777-200 and -200ER, and the exclusive engine of the -200LR, -300ER, and 777F. It was the largest jet engine, [3] until being surpassed in January 2020 by its successor, the 110,000 lbf (490 kN) GE9X, which has a larger fan diameter by 6 inches (15 cm). However, the GE90-115B, the most recent variant of the ...
The exhaust ports of a NK-12 in an outboard nacelle on a Tu-95. The Kuznetsov NK-12 is a Soviet turboprop engine of the 1950s, designed by the Kuznetsov design bureau.The NK-12 drives two large four-bladed contra-rotating propellers, 5.6 m (18 ft) diameter (NK-12MA), and 6.2 m (20 ft) diameter (NK-12MV).
Built from 1999 to 2005, it was the largest SUV Ford had made to that point. Weighing in at nearly 4 tons and stretching close to 20 feet, it was somehow an even larger version of the F-250 Super ...
The Pratt & Whitney R-4360 Wasp Major is an American 28-cylinder four-row radial piston aircraft engine designed and built during World War II.At 4,362.5 cu in (71.5 L), it is the largest-displacement aviation piston engine to be mass-produced in the United States, and at 4,300 hp (3,200 kW) the most powerful.
