Liberty L-6

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Liberty L-6 was a 6-cylinder, water-cooled, inline, aero-engine developed in the United States during World War I. The Liberty L-6, which developed 200-215 hp, was built by the Thomas-Morse Aircraft Corp. and Wright Aeronautical Corp. Since the L-6 was too large for mail airplanes and other engines were available, the L-6 was canceled after only 52 had been built. In 1921 the L-6 was installed in the Curtiss (only two built) and the Engineering Division TW-1 (only six built).
