Abstract
The invention provides an internal combustion engine suitable for use with a model aircraft comprising an outer housing, a cylinder disposed within the outer housing and rotatable about an axis W—W, and a power transmission means comprising a reciprocable piston, a connecting shaft connecting the piston to a crankshaft having a bevel drive gear that meshes with a bevel gear ring disposed at one end of the cylinder, whereby a linear movement of the piston is converted into a rotational movement of the cylinder.
