Fiat A.12

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Fiat A.12 was a 6 cylinder liquid-cooled in-line engine 160 mm x 180 mm, 21.71 liters, 245–300 hp[vague] at 1,700 rpm. The A.12 was a rather large aero engine at the time and its dimensions were more typical of a marine engine, but it was efficient and reliable. No doubt Fiat's experience with large racing engines contributed to its success. A total of 13,260 A.12's were produced between 1916-1919.
