Hi,

Does anyone have any info on this engine? I've searched the web and have found little.

Salmson 150 hp radial engines should be Canton-Unné (Salmson) P9 and R9 from 1915, both water cooled 9-cylinder radials.

• P9 is quoted as 122 by 140 mm (14.729 dm3), about 300 examples used on Voisin and HF.27 aeroplanes;
• R9 is quoted as 125 by 140 mm (15.463 dm3), about 300 examples produced in Russia (Lebed, Anatra, Ilya Murometz bomber), as well as about 50 in France (Salmson-Moineau).

A bit larger 250 ch 9Z was important engine powering Salmson 2A2.

Most of this information can be found at: Dossiers historiques et techniques aéronautique française by Gérard HARTMANN

Thanks for the info. Greatly appreciated.

Do you need a full-throttle power curve from a pre-war (1914) version(s) of such engine, 7- and 14- cylinder 120 by 140 mm, and 9-cylinder 122 by 140 mm?
If so, I can provide something from my records.
Regards,
Yavor

Excellent info, Patrick, thanks for the help but I'm hoping to find more drawings or pics for a scratchbuild of the engine.

Thank you, Steve!
My order went ahead of my post
From a few pages already seen (thanks to our colleagues on The Aerodrome), the book is truly "Encyclopaedia" but, nevertheless, a useful source of information.
