"Seeing the future by searching the past — Securing the future by saving the past"

The Aircraft Engine Historical Society is a non-profit educational and historical society that fosters an appreciation of the people, art, and science associated with aircraft engine development, manufacture, and use.

Comparison of Sleeve and Poppet-Valve Aircraft Piston Engines
by Robert J. Raymond

The sleeve-valve versus poppet-valve story is of general interest to aircraft engines enthusiasts, illustrating the difficulty with introducing a major variation into the design of a device already well along in its evolutionary development. Historically such innovations have often been driven by the force of a single personality, which, if given the resources, could take it far beyond what would be achieved if the idea was promoted by a team of dispassionate engineers. Sirs Harry Ricardo and Roy Fedden were two such personalities, without whom the sleeve-valve aircraft engine would probably have never happened.

Torque Meter

Journal of the Aircraft Engine Historical Society

For seven years the AEHS published a prestigious quarterly journal, Torque Meter, which contained articles on all types of aircraft engines, both new and old. Topics included engines and the aircraft they powered with emphasis on the engine installation, propellers, accessories, cooling, operation, and maintenance.

Torque Meter is no longer published. However,

All Torque Meter Back Issues Are Still Available!

Searchable Torque Meter Table of Contents Volumes 1-7 (2002-2008) (488 K PDF)
Compiled by Jim Strobeck

Searchable Torque Meter Alphabetic Feature and Column Index (106 K PDF)
Compiled by Sandy Skinner

Most new articles are now published in the Members' Section

AEHS Members also have access to the Members' Bulletin Board

Help Needed

Rolls-Royce Merlin Book

The Rolls-Royce Heritage Trust is putting together a book about the Merlin engine. We would like to include a list of surviving engines, and to this end any help would be appreciated.

All that is required is the mark and serial number of the engine, be it airworthy, on display, in a museum aircraft or in private ownership. Engines must be complete or substantially complete - no wrecks. All marks are eligible for engines made in the UK, USA and Australia.

We hope to collect serial numbers of all Packard Merlins, including the -3, -7 and -9s, etc., in Mustangs/museums/privately owned (even those built by Continental). Any such knowledge about Merlins other than those in USA/Canada would also be helpful.

If anyone would like to provide me with such details they can e-mail me through

Dave Birch, Rolls-Royce Heritage Trust

The AEHS Needs Your Help!

Please help the Aircraft Engine Historical Society achieve its mission. We need donations (click here to donate) and we need material for publication on this web site. If you wish to contribute material, you can find submission guidelines here. Please feel free to contact us about your article ideas.
We also need to borrow and scan your very rare manuals (Napier Sabre Overhaul, Napier Dagger, etc.). We have access to the more common ones.
