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 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 Ranger Engines Division (also Ranger Aircraft Engine Division) of the Fairchild Engine & Aircraft Corporation was an American aircraft engine company. It was known as the Fairchild Engine Division after World War II.
A NACA Hucks starter set up to start a Vought VE-7 A Hucks starter connected to start the engine of a Hawker Nimrod A Ford Model T-based Hucks starter owned by the Shuttleworth Collection. A Hucks starter is an auxiliary power unit, almost always a lorry or truck, that provides initial power to start up piston aircraft engines.
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.
The fuel system as explained above is one of the two systems required for starting the engine. The other is the actual ignition of the air/fuel mixture in the chamber. Usually, an auxiliary power unit is used to start the engines. It has a starter motor which has a high torque transmitted to the compressor unit. When the optimum speed is ...
The Rearwin company had specialized in aircraft powered by small radial engines, such as their Sportster and Cloudster, and had even purchased the assets of LeBlond Engines to make small radial engines in-house in 1937. By 1940, however, it was clear Rearwin would need a design powered by a small horizontally opposed engine to
The Sportster was designed by Jesse Anglin of Henderson, North Carolina. It was derived from his earlier design, the Warner Spacewalker II , to comply with the US light-sport aircraft rules. It features a cantilever low-wing , a single-seat or a two-seats-in- tandem open cockpit which can be optionally enclosed under a bubble canopy , fixed ...
