The Wright R-2600 Cyclone 14 (also called Twin Cyclone) was an American radial engine developed by Curtiss-Wright and widely used in aircraft in the 1930s and 1940s. ==History== In 1935, Curtiss-Wright began work on a more powerful version of their successful R-1820 Cyclone 9. The result was the R-2600 Twin Cyclone, with 14 cylinders arranged in two rows. The R-2600-3 was originally intended for the C-46 Commando (being fitted to the prototype CW-20A) and was also the original engine choice for the F6F Hellcat; a running change (one which would not stop production) for the CW-20A, and one in late April 1942 for the second XF6F-1, led to the adoption of the Pratt & Whitney R-2800 in its place for both designs. The Twin Cyclone went on to power several key World War II aircraft, including the A-20 Havoc, B-25 Mitchell, TBF Avenger and SB2C Helldiver, as well as the PBM Mariner. Over 50,000 R-2600s were built at plants in Caldwell, New Jersey, and Cincinnati, Ohio.
