Another project?

Very impressive. 20 years ago, I got to see a Wildcat fly a few times at the museum in Kalamazoo.

I recall that they have a distinctive sound. Do their engines have fewer cylinders than most radials?
 
Wright R-1820 Cyclone 9 cylinder supercharged radial engine.

This same engine was used in all B-17s built along with the SBD Dauntless Dive Bomber to name just a few of the many planes the engine was in. You could say it was the 350 Chevy of it's time. It is even in this helo below.
