Does anybody know of an engine like this?

Hi everyone,

Does anybody know if there is an engine like this one anywhere in the world? It's a Clerget 1909 - 4V - 4 cyl water cooled engine that Coanda used on his plane.

There is one at the Vienna Museum, apparently one in Paris and I was told there may be one in Alaska somewhere.

Thank you

Laurence

Thanks for the link, that's quite a collection there.

Unfortunately it's gotta be the 4V model, not the radial type.

Scroll down on that page Wulf, there's an inline 4 there, Cirrus Minor. Very similar

I did, saw it, the Curtiss looks similar as well. The problem is that the Henri Coanda Association in Romania want to build an exact replica of the original 1/1 scale, everything must be absolutely identical. I know it's nearly impossible, but I still have hope
