EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the intricate workings of the Napier and Son Gazelle Mk. 10101 ECU engine, a mechanical marvel of the aviation industry from the early 20th century. The Gazelle engine, specifically Air Diagram 6983, was a significant development in the field of aircraft propulsion and transportation. The Napier and Son Gazelle engine was a radial engine, characterized by its distinctive shape with cylinders arranged in a circular pattern around the crankshaft. The Mk. 10101 ECU (Extra Careful Use) variant was a two-row, 14-cylinder engine, producing approximately 600 horsepower. Its unique design and advanced engineering made it a popular choice for various military and civilian applications during the interwar period and beyond. The engine's workings are beautifully illustrated in this detailed diagram. The intake manifold at the top of the engine draws in air, which is then compressed by the pistons and mixed with fuel before being ignited by the spark plugs. The resulting explosion forces the pistons to move, turning the crankshaft and ultimately propelling the aircraft forward. The exhaust gases exit through the exhaust ports at the back of the engine. The Napier and Son Gazelle engine underwent continuous development and improvement throughout its production life, with various modifications and upgrades to enhance its performance and efficiency. Its legacy can still be seen in modern aviation engines and continues to inspire engineers and innovators in the field of mechanical engineering and propulsion systems.
