1/8 Scale Museum Model Series W.W.I British Fighter
The rotary engines developed during the WWI had a unique system that the whole engine body rotated around the fixed crank shaft. They were powerful and smooth in operation even the weight was light. The Clerget rotary engine originally designed in France was manufactured in England under licence, and this model 9B was mainly used for the Sopwith fighters. This engine helped the famous dog fighter, Sopwith Camel, achieve many splendid was results.

HISTORY Β Β
The first practical air-cooled radial rotary engine for aircrafts was developed in 1909 by a French company, Gnome, using an idea of an American engineer. Β This new 7 cylindered rotary engine had the power of 50 hp. With this new engine, France became the leader of the world's aviation technology in those days.
Β
During the WWI, the three 9 cylindered models, Le Rhone 80-100 hp, Gnome Monosoupape 100 hp, and Clerget 9Z 110 hp were manufactured in France, and many of them were exported as the light weighted but powerful aircraft engines. Those rotary engines were characterised with that the engine body itself worked as the fly-wheel and was powerful compared to its light weight. The engine cowling which was designed to prevent oil from splashing around the engine became an ideal nose fairing to reduce air resistance. Therefore, not only France but also England, Germany, USA, and Italy used this type of engine for their newest fighters in the early stage of the WW I.
Β
The Sopwith F.1 Camel, built in 1917, was a small dog fighter equipped with the Clerget 9B 130 hp, and this excellent fighter soon became the main power of the Royal Air Force. The Clerget 9B 130 hp was an improved version of the 9Z originally designed by Clerget Blin & Cie in Paris, and was manufactured under licence at Gwynness factory of Hammersmith Iron Works in London.
Β
The sister models Clerget 9Z 110 hp and 9F 130 hp were made in France, and the modified 9BF 140 hp was British-French made. These engines were used for many other British and French military aircrafts.
