Home›Aircraft Engines›Vehicle FittedBrowse ByVehicle FittedThis dimension groups engines by the vehicle each one actually powered. Every internal combustion engine works on the same basic principle wherever it is fitted, since "the expansion of the high-temperature and high-pressure gases produced by combustion applies direct force to components of the engine," as Wikipedia explains. Browsing by vehicle fitted lets a visitor see which specific car, aircraft or vessel a given engine actually drove.FactsVehicle FittedSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonEra of EmergenceWell-attested1903 CE 1Vehicle FittedFilter Results16 entriesEngine TypeAllPiston Aero Engines (8)Turbojet and Turbofan Engines (8)ConfigurationAllFlat or Boxer (1)Opposed-Piston (1)Radial (4)V-Configuration (2)Fuel or CycleAllDiesel (1)Gasoline / Petrol (6)Jet Fuel / Turbine (7)YearAll1931 (2)1933 (2)1937 (1)1939 (1)1950 (3)1955 (1)1963 (3)1985 (1)ManufacturerAllGeneral Electric (1)Junkers (1)Porsche AG (1)Pratt & Whitney (6)Rolls-Royce Holdings plc (5)Wright Aeronautical (1)CylindersAll6 (1)12 (2)14 (2)18 (2)Invented ByAllAlan Arnold Griffith (3)Frank Whittle (1)Hans von Ohain (1)Pioneered ByAllFrank Whittle (1)Hans von Ohain (1)Engine ClassAllJet (3)Piston (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareBlohm and Voss BV 138Vehicle Fitted1 entryBoeing 727Vehicle Fitted1 entryBoeing 737Vehicle Fitted1 entryConsolidated PBY CatalinaVehicle Fitted1 entryde Havilland CometVehicle Fitted1 entryDouglas C-47 SkytrainVehicle Fitted1 entryDouglas DC-9Vehicle Fitted1 entryEnglish Electric LightningVehicle Fitted1 entryGloster E.28/39Vehicle Fitted1 entryGrumman F6F HellcatVehicle Fitted1 entryLockheed ConstellationVehicle Fitted1 entryMcDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom IIVehicle Fitted1 entryMooney M20Vehicle Fitted1 entryNorth American P-51 MustangVehicle Fitted1 entrySud Aviation CaravelleVehicle Fitted1 entrySupermarine SpitfireVehicle Fitted1 entrySources1.
