The North American T-28 Trojan R-1300-3D Engine Data Plate is an original artifact from the Wright Cyclone engine, specifically the R-1300-3D variant. This data plate, crafted from heavy steel, is a robust piece of aviation history. It measures 3 inches by 5 inches and features markings by the Kaiser-Frazer Corporation, the original manufacturer. The plate carries a military acceptance stamp, indicating that it was officially approved for use in military service.
Engraved on the data plate are key identifiers such as the serial number and the Air Force contract number, tying this specific plate to an operational history with the U.S. Air Force. This plate was once attached to an operational R-1300 engine, which, after completing its service life, was dismantled and had the data plate removed. The R-1300-3D engine was notable for powering the North American T-28 Trojan, a versatile and highly regarded aircraft used primarily for training and counter-insurgency roles in the mid-20th century.
Despite its age and removal from a "run-out" engine, this data plate remains in used but very good condition, showcasing the durability and craftsmanship of its construction. This piece offers a tangible connection to aviation history and would be of significant interest to collectors or aviation enthusiasts, especially those with an appreciation for military aircraft or the legendary Wright Cyclone engines.All items sold are 100% guaranteed.
