FOR many years, Helmut Hirth, the well-known pre-war pilot and engine-constructor, has been working on the construction and design of a new cheap engine for touring aeroplanes. Those who know his early engines expected to see a high revolution, water-cooled, two-cycle engine with double pistons, something after the type of the motor-cycle engines which have run successfully in many races. It was a great surprise, therefore, when he came out about a year ago with an air-cooled, four-cylinder, four-cycle, vertical engine.
