DAYTON, Ohio -- B-36 fuel injection system exhibit in the Cold War Gallery at the National Museum of the United States Air Force. (U.S. Air Force photo)
This fuel injection system was developed by Bendix for the Pratt & Whitney R-4360-53 engine used to power the B-36 and probably represents the highest sophistication achieved in the evolution of aircraft piston engine fuel injection. This system injected aviation fuel directly into each cylinder of the 28-cylinder radial engine and produced easy starting and smooth engine operation.
