Default RE: Engines with two rings???

There might be a very small gain in compression on an engine with two rings, but any power increase would be offset by the increased ring drag. A single ring engine will produce slightly more power all things being equal, while a dual ring engine might last a bit longer. That is a moot point though, as one could never fly enough to actually wear one of these engines out...
