The Nelson H-44 is an American single ignition, four-cylinder, horizontally opposed, direct drive, two-stroke aircraft engine that was developed by the Nelson Engine Company for use in motorgliders.[1]

Design and development

The H-44 was designed in the period following the Second World War and a specially designed motor glider was created by Hawley Bowlus to utilize the engine, the Bowlus/Nelson Dragonfly.[1]

The engine was not certified. Under the CAR 5 regulations then in place in the USA for gliders, a certified auxiliary power glider could be flown with a non-certified engine and propeller. The engine is instead described on the Dragonfly type certificate.[1]

The four-cylinder engine runs on a 12:1 mixture of 80 octane gasoline and SAE 30 oil. It is equipped with a single Carter WA1 carburetor and a recoil starter.[1]

Operational history

Employed in the Dragonfly the H-44 proved underpowered, which led to the design of the H-49 version. The engine family was not a success and few were produced.[2][3]

Variants

H-44

Original design with a {{convert|2.25|in|mm|0|abbr=on}} bore and {{convert|2.75|in|mm|0|abbr=on}} stroke, producing {{convert|25|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} at 3900 rpm.[1]

H-49

Upgraded design with E-225 cylinders giving a {{convert|2.375|in|mm|0|abbr=on}} bore and {{convert|2.75|in|mm|0|abbr=on}} stroke, producing {{convert|28|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} at 4000 rpm.[1]

Applications

  • Bowlus/Nelson Dragonfly[2][3]
