A Straight-10 engine is a straight engine with ten cylinders. A straight-10 is a very long engine, and therefore straight-10 engines are not common in automobiles.

[edit] Marine Use

Large ten-cylinder engines are common on large ships, such as container ships. The MAN B&W 10K90MC-C (pictured) is an example of such an engine, and it is capable of developing a maximum power output of 58,600BHP (43,100kW) at a speed of 104RPM. Like the vast majority of marine diesel engines, it is capable of running on diesel or heavy fuel oil, the latter of which is used most often.
