This article is about an aircraft engine, for the prototype electric locomotive see AEG 12X
12X
Type Vee piston engine
National origin France
Manufacturer Hispano-Suiza




The Hispano-Suiza 12X was an aircraft piston engine designed in France by Hispano-Suiza during the early 1930s. A 12-cylinder Vee, liquid-cooled design, the 12X was used on several aircraft types, some of them being used in limited numbers during World War II. Due to the 12X's limited power output, its derivative the more powerful Hispano-Suiza 12Y had a longer career.
