And that is a quasiturbine. That's a totally different engine. Try how stuff works .com or something. They have a pretty good explanation on them...later

thats is a "Radial" engine, like used in the Famous B-17 Flying fortress, they are decent engine but require massive amounts of space, and therefore increasing drag, thats why with fighters aircraft manufactures started switching to Inline engines, in World War Two, some of the most famous inlines were the P-51D Mustang, SuperMarine SpitFire, Hawker Hurricane. all three which are allied patrol or fighter aircraft while the B-17 was the most widly used Allied American Bomber of World War two and the Avro Lancaster was considered one of the most multitaskful bombers of the Second World War.

another bit of info for y'all
a harley engine is actually a 'piece' of a radial engine. unlike a normal V 2, the rods are connected at the bottom, and mount to the same point on the crankshaft. This is why harleys sound funny, because the cylinders fire 60 degrees or so apart from each other, instead of 180*. if you listen closesly, you can hear the two chugs, then a space, then the next two.
