From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Sunbeam Dyak was a British inline six-cylinder, water-cooled, twin updraught carburettor engine.

It had an aluminium sump, block and cylinder head, and is an overhead camshaft design with two valves per cylinder. The output was approximately 106 horsepower (79 kW). One was fitted to the first Queensland and Northern Territory Aerial Services (QANTAS) aircraft (an Avro 504K) and was fitted in Australia by the Australian Aircraft & Engineering Co. Ltd. at Mascot, New South Wales. The engine was started by turning a geared crank handle in the cockpit. The diesel-powered Sunbeam Pathan was developed from this engine.
