The Development of Piston Aero Engines looks at the history, development and application of these remarkable power plants, from those used by the Wright Brothers for their pioneering flights in the early 1900s right up to the small engines fitted to microlights today. It assesses what has led to the present state of piston aero engine design, as well as giving some thoughts on what the future might hold.
