I was just watching TV and saw an old Twilight Zone episode called "The arrival" about a DC-3 that arrived with no one aboard.  In one of the early scenes, you can clearly hear the sound of a pair of geared Lycs taking off, COOL!!  jb

But a DC-3 doesnt have geared lycs, so they used  some other sound?

HI DON.  The sound was just running in the background, as airport "white noise" I thinks DC-3s are geared however.  jb

Assuming that the DC3 had Curtiss-Wright R-1820 engines, they had prop reduction gears.

Aren't all OR most round engines geared?   At least that was my impression.

Good Evening Don,   

 Most all of the larger ones are, but the ubiquitous R-985 and R-1340 are  almost exclusively direct drive. 

  

 There were a very few 985s that had gearing. Not sure if  they were  certificated or not, but at least one 985 with gearing for the propellor was  used in a racing version of the Beechcraft Model 17.

  

 A high percentage of the 1340s were geared. Many of them were used in the  Boeing 247 and the Nordyn Norseman, but the 1340s in all the production Harvards  and Texans were all direct drive though many have had geared versions  installed.

  

 That nice little Russian engine is built both ways!

  

 As Always, It All Depends!

  

 Happy  Skies,
