Title: Pratt & Whitney R2800 diagram?
Post by: Sancho on March 21, 2001, 06:15:00 AM

Can someone point me to a link or a book with a good, detailed schematic or interior drawings of a the R2800?  I've got plenty of external views, but no good "unclothed"--err exposed pics.  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)  Thanks!

Book I dont know about yet, but when i was in Pensacola at the Naval Air Museum their was a  static display of one with a cut away. Truly a massive beast. I had pictures of  it, but as I told you before they didnt come out.

I'll take that R2800 cutaway display and raise you a working one on a dyno, plus a cutaway Wasp Major.

I hate driven to Galveston tho.

I'll scan some stuff next time I have the scanner set up.  

Here's a good book (http://www.sae.org/servlets/productDetail?PROD_TYP=BOOK&PROD_CD=R-154) to get if you want to learn about the R-2800 and its contemporaries.  It's full of cutaways, photos, and engineering drawings.  You can probably find a cheaper copy through Advanced Book Exchange (http://www.abebooks.com).
