Radial Aircraft Engine Assembly

Kinematic Complexity & Motion Verification:

Radial engine configurations employ a single master connecting rod attached directly to the crankshaft journal, with secondary articulated rods pinned around its perimeter. This design required continuous multi-body dynamic simulation through full 360-degree rotation cycles to eliminate geometric collisions and verify joint clearances under high angular accelerations.

Key Engineering Highlights:

• Over 65 parametric components assembled with zero interference.
• ISO 1101 GD&T tolerances applied to master rod knuckle pins and cylinder liners.
• FEA dynamic inertial stress verification for high-RPM operation.
