Split category?

[edit]

Should this category be split by radials and inlines, possibly splitting inlines to single bank, flat and vee too?

Radials, in general, are air-cooled. Inlines, in-general (at least for high power military engine), are generally water-cooled. The value of a category such as this is mostly to highlight the exceptions: air-cooled engines are unexceptional (most are simply radials), but air-cooled inlines are the exceptional group and warrant their own cat.

Yes, I agree. It could become a rather large category, so subcats would certainly be appropriate. Gjs238 (talk) 13:04, 7 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
