What is the biggest single engine piston airplane?
The Douglas Skyraider and Vietnam version called the Spad are the most powerful piston driven propeller aircraft with highest load carrying capacity but not the largest. The Grumman AF-2S Guardian Torpedo Bomber of the Korean War era had slightly less horsepower with the Pratt Whitney R2800 engine, but it was a larger airplane and for purely piston powered reciprocating aircraft is the largest known single engine aircraft
What are the Reciprocating airplane?
A reciprocating airplane refers to an aircraft that is powered by a reciprocating engine, also known as a piston engine. These engines work by converting the reciprocating motion of pistons into rotary motion that drives the propeller. Reciprocating airplanes are commonly used in general aviation and smaller aircraft, offering reliability and efficiency.

How does an aircraft reciprocating engine works?
A 'reciprocating engine' is just another name for a piston engine as opposed to a jet. Technically, the engine works just like the one in your car, with a piston moving in and out of a cylinder. The difference may be that the aircraft engine may have it's cylinders arranged in a circle ( radial engine) but the action is just the same.
