Kossov was a Shvetsov collaborator before WWII in the development of the M-11 5-cylinder radial.

-He also collaborated with the MG-11 that gave 165 hp and the 180 CV -F version.

-“MG” means “Motor Grazhdanskiy” that is, “Civil engine”.

-The Kossov M-12 was an improvement of the M-11, with five cylinders as well, but giving 190 CV.

-Below we see it installed in a Yak-18 but noting that the engine hood is like that of the Yak-11.

-Normally this plane would be powered by an Ivchenko AI-14R that gave 260 CV.

-With respect to the M-21 of 1938, this 7-cylinder engine was also improved by Kossov up to 220 CV.

-The 9-cylinder MG-31 radial engine from 1938 reached 300 CV and the -F version 330 CV.

-The engine known as MG-40 was an M-11 that was improved by Kossov for 140 CV as well.

The author of this edition of Aeroengines AtoZ, through Aeroteca, collaborated on Version 2 of this video, which is presented here.

To understand the operation of the connecting rods, the 1929 Continental R 670 single-cylinder engine was chosen.

A demonstration of Version 3, improved at the author's suggestion, is also available on YouTube at a later date. This version shows bronze valve guides, improved valve spring movement, and the split crankshaft counterweights and front bearing balls also move.

The design is from Juan Soler, Sant Cugat, Barcelona

Below we show a flash of version 3

Counting also with the coloboration of JMC of Enginys Mecanics in Mataro, Barcelona
