  • Wright T-3

    Note: This item is currently in storage.The Wright T-3 is a liquid-cooled V-12 engine derived from the Wright T-2. It represents the continuation of a line of development that originated with the Liberty V-12 of World War I. Developed primarily as a racing engine, it was adopted by the U.S. Navy for

  • Simulated Ramjet

    Note: This item is currently in storage.Following its modification for an extended performance program, the X-15A-2 was to have served in the late 1960s as a testbed for hypersonic ramjet engines. This is one of the simulated ramjet engine shells, designed to test the aerodynamics of the proposed

  • Rolls Royce Hawk

    Note: This item is currently in storage.The British Rolls Royce Hawk engine was used in the British-Built SS "Zero" (Submarine Scout, Zero) airship of which 76 were built. Two of these World War I airships -- SSZ23 and SSZ24 -- were used by American forces flying out of Howden, England, for
