DR-980 Packard Diesel

Bellanca J-2 at Jacksonville, FL

May 25, 1931, Flight time of 84 hours, 33 minutes, 1-1/4 seconds unrefueled, a world's record held until 1986 when broken by Voyager, which flew around the world unrefueled.

I have both of Robert Neal's wonderful Packard books, "Master Motor Builders" and "Packards At Speed". He also wrote "A Technical and Operational History of the Liberty Engine". All 3 are well worthwhile for anyone interested in engine history.

Another interesting source is the Aircraft Engine Historical Society at www.enginehistory.org

Bristol Phoenix, Westland Wapiti, altitude record..?

Quote:
The Phoenix was an experimental version of the Bristol Aeroplane Company's Pegasus engine, adapted to run on the Diesel cycle. Only a few were built between 1928 and 1932, although samples fitted to a Westland Wapiti held the altitude record for diesel-powered aircraft at 27,453 ft (8,368 m) from 11 May 1934 until World War II.[1] The primary advantage of the Phoenix was better fuel efficiency at cruise, by up to 35%.
