It is a liquid-cooled W-type engine (yes, 60+60=120 degrees most probably), but instead of 6-cylinder configuration, it's a 12-cylinder layout (believe or not). Capacity 24,4 litres, dry weight 425 kg. Power output 450 hp. Check out this link. It has a picture of the engine. http://www.planes-and-tanks.com/EngineShop/lorraine.htm "Montblack" kirjoitti ...

Yes I reckon I can , it's a Soc Nationale de Construction de Moteurs
(Lorraine-Dietrich) see the V12 version Page 95 World Encyclopaedia of Aero Engines by Bill Gunston ISBN 1-85260-163-9 -- Ian Kentish in Bendigo AU 36:46:13 S ---- 144:15:466 Few things are harder to put up with than the annoyance of a good example.

Do a Google Images search on "Anzani Engine" to see some similar
configurations. I did not see a 6-cylinder of this type, but there is a 3-cylinder (among other oddities like 6 and 10 cylinder radials). David Johnson |
