An interesting feature of all three German jet engine designs that saw production of any kind before May 1945 (the German BMW 003, Junkers Jumo 004 and Heinkel HeS 011 axial-flow turbojet engine designs) was the starter system, which consisted of a Riedel 10 hp (7.5 kW) flat twin two-stroke air-cooled engine hidden in the intake, and ...
The engine was mainly produced for Fairchild's family of training aircraft in the mid-1930s. Ranger L-440-1 Model 6.444C-2engine plate. According to H.L. Puckett, "Ranger developed a system of air cooling all cylinders to a high degree of uniformity. The system employed air under pressure, admitted through an opening in the front of the engine ...

An automobile starter motor (larger cylinder). The smaller object on top is a starter solenoid which controls power to the starter motor and engages the Bendix drive.. A starter (also self-starter, cranking motor, or starter motor) is a device used to rotate (crank) an internal-combustion engine so as to initiate the engine's operation under its own power.
Compared with electric starters, air-starters have a higher power-to-weight ratio so are used on large engines as an electric starter would be too big and, with its cables, too heavy and expensive. However, for smaller engines, which don't need as much starter power, an electric starter is more suitable.
