They didn't.
All American carrier planes had radial engines but some Japanese and British aircraft had liquid-cooled engines, also planes built in Germany for their carrier which was never finished had liquid-cooled engines.
Radial engines were used in most cases because they were more rugged than other engines, a pilot would only need to watch his oil pressure gauge whereas using a different engine he would also have to check his coolant, and a single bullet in a liquid-cooled engine could cause it to seize up in a short time.

What is one of the World's most strongest aircraft carrier?
The USS Eisenhower carrier is the most strongest aircraft carrier in the World.
Was using aircraft carriers as aircraft freighters common in World War 2?
yes it was and when you think about it the reasons are obvious. An aircraft carrier is designed to transport airplanes so what else would you use? Of course you could load the planes on a freighter but you would probably have to partially disassemble them. Then when you got to your destination they would have to be unloaded, that requires cranes and other port equipment. By using a carrier the planes can be transported whole and then just flown off of the carrier and onto the landing field. During the war a specialised kind of carrier was developed for just this purpose. They were called jeep carriers. They generally did not conduct operational missions themselves. they operated behind the main fleets and carried replacement planes and pilots. that way, whenever a fleet carrier lost a plane, instead of having to put back into port for a replacement, one could be flown to it immediately.

Did navy pilots fly army planes in World War 2?
No but army pilots took army B25 bombers off of the the deck of the navy aircraft carrier Hornet to bomb the homeland of the Japanese in April of 1942.

Did ford build any fighter planes in World War 2?
No, but they provided they engines for several fighters.
What are the origins of the carrier Air France?
The origins of the carrier Air France are that it was created as an airline by the government of france. It travels from france to other parts of the world using various air planes.
What is the detailed history of a Cummins N14 Engine?
Cummins N14 Engines were created for World War I fighter planes which were involved in something called dogfights. These engines were lighter and faster.
How have war planes change from World War 1 to now?
Modern warplanes have better guns, engines, machinery, radars, and bombs. and the tecnoligy
How many engines did the World War 2 SBD have?
The SBD was a single engine plane. All WWII carrier aircraft were single engine.
How fast do aeroplanes with propellers fly?
It depends greatly on the size, weight and configuration of the plane involved. Obviously, smaller planes with more powerful engines would trump larger planes with less powerful engines. The thing about prop planes is that they are limited by physics. At around the dawn of the Jet Age (late 1930s), prop-planes were driven by reciprocating engines. The issue was that making such engines bigger also made them heavier without a significant power advantage. Both in-line and radial engines could only go so fast, and propellers could only be so big before their weight started robbing performance. At around that time, the P-51D Mustang, one of the most ubiquitous aircraft of the war, could go around 400 miles per hour. The first jet-fighter, Germany's Me 262, could travel well over 500 miles per hour. After the war, propeller-planes were improved on, but never went significantly faster than top speeds achieved during World War II. Now, they are used primarily because of their advantages in economy and simplicity, not their top speed.
How come World War 2 planes are slow?
If you compare the planes of World War 2 they will seem very slow next to Jets. However, if you compared the planes of World War 2 to the planes of World War 1 and they were very fast and modern. So when you ask why they are slow it depends on those factors. They seem slow today because they did not have jet engines. However, they could go 250-450 miles an hour and that was fast then. Some of those very same planes race against one another in races around the United States. The race planes can go 350-400 miles an hour on average.
What bussinesses were open in the US in World War 2?
Ford, was open in world war two. The U.S auto market thrived around that time and the auto companys provided engines for the U.S tanks, and planes.
What is one of the World's most strongest aircraft carrier?
The USS Eisenhower carrier is the most strongest aircraft carrier in the World.
How many planes are there in the hole world?
we think they are 119 planes in the hold wide world
