This 28-cylinder engine, nicknamed "corncob," was the largest production piston engine ever built. At first producing 3000 hp, it was improved to 3500 hp. The 4360 was used in the Convair B-36, Boeing B-50 and C-97/Model 377 Stratocruiser and the 15 F2G-2 Corsairs. Modern piston-engined racers use the 4360 modified to produce 4500 hp.
