Rotec R3600
The Rotec R3600 is a nine-cylinder radial engine built by Rotec Aerosport Pty Ltd in Australia. It was released in 2005 as a followup of the 7-cylinder Rotec R2800 that was debuted five years earlier. Both this engine and its smaller cousin have been frequently used as replacement engines for vintage World War 1 aircraft, and reproduction aircraft from the same vintage. This engine has been used in some notable aircraft such as the Fokker Triplane, Sopwith Camel and the Nieuport 17.
Note that these engines are not limited to only aircraft applications; JRL Cycles has converted an R3600 for use in a motorcycle.
