This massive 4362 cubic inch, or 71.48 liter, radial 28 made of 4 banks of what are basically their own radial 7 engines joined to a common crank and block was the engine used in the Boeing B-50 Superfortress. It produces a tectonic level of power, about 2650 horsepower in its lowest power form as the R-4360-4, naturally aspirated and the earliest version. Later versions made over 3000 horsepower and when supercharged with "power recovery turbines" in the R-4360-51 VDT as in the B-50 they made 4300 horsepower. It turns out the old version I made was quite janky with the cam and spark timing, and I did a strange thing with the crank angles that made it all even harder to figure out. So by deleting perhaps a few hundred characters worth of garbage the engine runs far better now. It makes beyond 6000 pound-feet of torque and I did the same "propeller simulation" as I did with the radial 12 aero engine but tuned for larger props and approximating an airspeed nearing 400 mph, which incidentally is near the 394 mph top speed of the B-50 Superfortress.
