NOTE 4. These engines incorporate torquemeters, provisions for crankcase mounting and double-acting hydraulic
propeller provisions.
NOTE 5. The ratings of these engines are based on standard conditions of temperature and barometric pressure
(60°F and 29.92 in.Hg. at sea level) and 80% relative humidity. If corrected to dry standard air conditions,
the rated powers would be increased approximately 2.5% at sea level to 0.4% at 15,000 feet for equal
manifold pressure settings.
NOTE 6. The 97C18CB1 engine is eligible for use with grade 100/130 fuel at the following ratings:
With low impeller rear ratio:
Max. continuous, hp, rpm, in.Hg., at:
Critical altitude (ft.) - 2150-2600-40.5-8700
Sea level - 2150-2600-43.0-S. L.
Take-off (5 min.), hp, rpm, in.Hg. at:
Critical altitude (ft.) - 2350-2600-45.0-5900
Sea level - 2350-2600-46.5-S. L.
With high impeller gear ratio:
Max. continuous, hp, rpm, in.Hg., at:
Critical altitude (ft.) - 1800-2600-41.0-18,800
Low critical pressure
altitude (ft.) - 1800-2600-42.0-14,000
