1/48 Wright J-6-5 Whirlwind
The Wright J-6-5 Whirlwind (military designation Wright R-540) was a five-cylinder, air-cooled radial engine in the J-6 series, delivering between 165 and 175 horsepower.
As the smallest and least powerful in the Whirlwind family, the J-6-5 was tailored for light aircraft. Among its notable applications was the Curtiss Robin, a light utility aircraft popular for civil use. Additionally, the J-6-5 was tested in a few prototype military trainer aircraft evaluated by the U.S. Army, though none moved forward to production.
