Nine cylinders are pretty wimpy compared to the mother of all radials, the Wright R-3350 with eighteen cylinders plus power recovery turbines.
We must not forget the Mac Daddy of them all the P&W R-4360 28cyl Wasp Major pumping out 4300 horsepower a tad more the Wrights 2800hp
and I believe the Russians had a radial diesel boat engine that was 42 cyl and put out 6000hp not a plane engine but a radial none the less

I would love to have a .wav file of that thing running!
