Variants
This is a list of representative R-2800 variants, describing some of the mechanical changes made during development of the Double-Wasp. Power ratings quoted are usually maximum "military" power the engine could generate on take-off and at altitude: 100 Octane fuel was used, unless otherwise noted.
The R-2800 was developed and modified into a basic sequence of sub-types, "A" through "E" series, each of which indicated major internal and external modifications and improvements, such that the "E" series engines had very few parts in common with the "A".
