This is a functional model of the Semi-Radial 3-cylinder (W3) engine (made by Anzani, 25 HP) that was installed on the Bleriot 11 airplane that first crossed the Strait of Dover in 1909.
After that, for the same type of airplane (Bleriot 11-2) imported to Japan, engine was replaced with the Rotary engine.
Since it is a very unique type, I made it with reference to public information.
