Fig. 11. Cross sectional schematic of one of the largest piston engine (Burmeister
and Wain K98MC-C) and three of its human operators. The geometry of piston
engines larger than 4400 kg departs radically from what would be predicted
from the scaling of smaller piston engines; this departure begins at the
crossing point of the scaling relationships for Group 1 and Group 2 motors.
