[edit] Straight-24

There are doubts that notable engines of this configuration really has been built. Anyway, there is no point in having such an article unless something significant can be said. Other than that a Straight-24 has 24 cylinders in a row. -- Egil 16:48, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Merge with Straight-14, Straight-12 etc. Radiant_* 08:13, Apr 15, 2005 (UTC)
• Merge and posibly move resulting page to something like 'inline engines' Andypasto 08:20, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Comment: That would be Straight engine, which already exists. For Straight-24 there is nothing to merge. -- Egil 08:51, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Redirect to Straight engine until anyone finds any useful information about these. I am not convinced, as I explain on the talk page, that any engines of this configuration have actually been built. Some aircraft references make offhand references to 'inline 24' engines, but on closer reading they are actually using 'inline' to mean "neither radial nor rotary" and the engines they are referring to are actually V or H configuration engines, rather than straight. —Morven 21:57, Apr 15, 2005 (UTC)
