Townend ring

A Townend Ring is a narrow-chord cowling ring fitted around the cylinders of an aircraft radial engine to reduce drag and improve cooling.
==Development==
The Townend ring was the invention of Dr. Hubert Townend of the British National Physical Laboratory〔(''Patent Specification 320131: Improvements in or relating to aircraft '', 8 July 1933 (amended specification from original dated 10 July 1928) )〕 in 1929. Patents were supported by Boulton & Paul Ltd in 1929.〔(1930 Canadian patent CA 304755 by Hubert Townend with drawings )〕 In the United States it was often called a "drag ring". It caused a reduction in the drag of radial engines and was widely used in high-speed designs of 1930-1935 before the long-chord NACA cowling came into general use.
Examples of aeroplanes with Townend rings were the Douglas O-38, Vickers Wellesley, the Westland Wallace and the Gloster Gauntlet. Early claims portrayed it as a superior design to the NACA cowling, but later comparisons proved aircraft performance worse when using a Townend ring at airspeeds above 250 mph.
