Fiat A.20

Aircraft Engines

The Fiat A.20 was an Italian aero engine of the 1920s, a water-cooled 60 degree V12 of 18.7 litres built by Fiat. It grew out of the 430 hp Fiat A.15 of 1923, which never entered production but gave the A.20 its basis; the new engine differed by being a monobloc design and delivered similar power from a smaller capacity, down from 20.3 to 18.7 litres. It had overhead camshafts working two inlet and two exhaust valves per cylinder and was fed by two twin carburettors. Three versions are recorded, the normal A.20, the higher-compression A.20 S and the high-altitude A.20 AQ, and the engine powered early versions of the Fiat CR.20 fighter and the Macchi M.41 seaplane, among other Italian aircraft of the decade.
