Boxer engines may not be that popular in cars, but they're a common sight in smaller aircraft. But why do these small planes use horizontal engines?
The XR-7755-3 was designed and manufactured by noted piston aircraft engine maker Lycoming during the height of World War II at the request of the U.S. Air Force.
Aircraft engine maker Rolls-Royce announced an improved variant of the Airbus A350 engine, the Trent XWB-84 Enhanced Performance (EP).
Airplanes use ashless aviation oil without the additives and detergents necessary in automotive engine oil, which is why it shouldn't be used in cars.
Boxer engines are wide and relatively flat since their pistons move side-to-side, parallel to the ground, where inline and V-shaped engines tend to be narrower but taller.
The USAAF sought an aircraft that could fly longer distances while retaining the Mustang’s performance characteristics—so North American simply fused two P-51s together.
BA secures a contract from Qatar Airways for 210 widebody aircraft, including 130 787 Dreamliners and 30 777-9s aircraft.
Befitting the world's largest and most efficient twin-engine jet, they too are the largest and most powerful commercial aircraft engine ever built.
An opposed-piston engine replaces the cylinder head with another set of pistons, each sharing a common cylinder, like a boxer engine but with no heads.
During World War II, the Mustang destroyed 4,950 Luftwaffe aircraft in the air—the most of any U.S. fighter in the European Theater.
