Green Engine Co

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Green Engine Co was an early British aero engine manufacturer. It was founded by Gustavus Green in London to produce engines of his design during the first decade of the 20th century. Actual manufacturing was carried out at the Aster Engineering Company of Wembley. The firm produced a range of water-cooled, inline engines up to about 1915. Green engines powered many pioneering British aircraft, including those by Alliott Verdon Roe, and the Short Brothers.
