Talk:Anzani

Article needs expansion

I've helped the article along with an image of AA on motorbike, and with images of Anzani aero engines, plus a list of these engines with some details. However, all I know is about aircraft and other communities (motorbike, motor car racing etc) will have a shared interest in Anzani. It would be good to have input from you! A motorbike question or two: I've called the motor in the 1906 photo a Fan type, but it looks as if the angle between the inner and outer cylinders is less than the 72^o of the Anzani Fan engine that Bleriot used for his cross channel flight. I'd guess maybe as little as 45^o; anyone know the contemporary name, the angle or indeed anything else about this or other early Anzani bike engines?TSRL (talk) 20:37, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

The effect is in part foreshortening, and I later convinced myself it could well have the 55^o or 60^o separation of the cross channel Bleriot. 72^o engine was later; cf Anzani 3-cylinder.TSRL (talk) 15:34, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
