Salmson 9
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Salmson 9 was a family of 9-cylinder, radial aircraft engines produced in France. Like most radials, these were air-cooled, but were in fact developed from a series of water-cooled radials built by Salmson during World War I. In common with other engines by this manufacturer, Salmson 9s featured the unorthodox Canton-Unné internal arrangement that dispensed with a master rod in favour of a cage of epicyclic gears driving the crankpin.
Variants of the Salmson 9 included:
- 9ADB 34 kW (45 hp)
- 9ND 131 kW (175 hp)
- 9ABC 172 kW (230 hp)
Applications included:
- Jodel D11
- Bloch MB.81
- SNCASE Alouette I
Production ended in 1951 with the liquidation of the manufacturing company.
