The Pratt & Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp, an American 18-cylinder, twin-row, air-cooled radial aircraft engine, boasts a displacement of 2,800 cu in (46 L) and belongs to the enduring Wasp family of engines.
Throughout and post World War II, the R-2800 was extensively utilized in several crucial American aircraft. Throughout the conflict, Pratt & Whitney persistently innovated to enhance the engine, incorporating features like water injection for takeoff in cargo and passenger aircraft and providing emergency power during combat.
