The Daimler-Benz DB 613 was a coupled double engine made of two DB 603 aero engines joined through a common gearbox. Two clutches in the gearbox tied the single engines together and one long shaft drove the propeller. Either engine could be started on its own, and if one failed it uncoupled itself in flight so that the other kept turning the propeller. If the flight engineer could clear the fault in the air, the idle engine could be coupled in again. The two engines sat at an angle of 44 degrees to each other, with one built as a mirror image. The suffix letters A and B give the direction of rotation, and the series covered four types, rated at 3,500 PS for the DB 613 A and B and 3,800 PS for the DB 613 C and D.
