Abstract
A starter for a piston aircraft engine is constructed by placing the pinion-gear and drive clutch, the engagement solenoid and the driving motor in a linear arrangement, the motor driving the clutch via a geared shaft passing by the engagement solenoid. Such construction provides minimum diameter for a solenoid-engaged piston aircraft engine starter in order to fit the available space on existing aircraft originally designed to be equipped with centrifugally-engaged starters.
