Aircraft engine machinist drawings

[mr.hermitsquid]

Hello. I seem to have too much time on my hands, and so I want to try and model an entire engine or aircraft in Solidworks. I cant seem to find any complete/detailed drawings for anything, and I am wondering if anyone has access to something like that. I am looking for an aircraft engine, or maybe a plane. I am kind of looking to do this for practice, and I know that there is at minimum, thousands of parts, and so am not expecting to complete anything, but having a goal to work for would be awesome. Anything that anyone has would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

PM me your email address and I will send a fairly complete set of R-1820 drawings covering several models.

I found my copy of the Nat Archives of Aus R-1820 drawings must have been on the external hard drive that crashed about two years back.

There will be a delay as the files come from the National Archives of Australia and a all too large to download so I have to request them again. The NAA are not efficient and their web server is as slow as all get-out so expect at least a months delay which is why I did not just post a link (much easier for me).

Common download error from that site

I tried again at 0600 next day (a Saturday when traffic should be minimal and they still time out.

As a result I sent them a request to retrieve the documents and this is what their reply is - they expect to take up to SIX WEEKS just to respond with an actual answer. How much longer to actually get the files is an unknown.

I liked this drawing.

It is indeed breathtaking in its scope and sweep.
