I'd have to look at my aircraft books, but it is somewhat similar to the radial engine or "corn cob" but I don't remember quite how the crankshaft operated on them since I only disassembled one in school and that was a little while ago.

Funky.

silly french

the motor spins around...and the crank is mounted to the plane....quite cool in fact
