Gnome-Rhone 9K

From PlaneSpottingWorld, for aviation fans everywhere

The Gnome-Rhône 9K was a 9-cylinder 550 hp (405 kW) air cooled radial engine, that started life as an enlarged Gnome-Rhône 7K with two extra cylinders. The Gnome-Rhône 7K itself was an enlarged version of the Gnome-Rhône 5K which was a licensed version of the Bristol Titan. The 9K was followed by the larger and more powerful 14-cylinder twin row Gnome-Rhône 14K.

The 9K was also produced in the Soviet Union as the M-75 at factory No. 29 in Zaporozhye. Only small numbers were built and it was dropped in favor of the M-25 a version of the Wright Cyclone and the M-85 a version of the 14K Mistral Major.
