The Alfa Romeo 115 is an Italian six-cylinder, air-cooled, inverted inline aircraft engine, intended mainly for training and light planes and based on the de Havilland Gipsy Six. About 1,600 were built. Like the Gipsy Six it has a one-piece Elektron crankcase with cover plates, finned steel cylinders and detachable aluminium alloy heads, and a six-throw counterbalanced crankshaft turning in seven plain bearings and driving the propeller directly. The 115-1 displaces 9.187 litres and produces 153 kW (205 hp) at 2,350 rpm on 73 octane fuel. Variants include the 115bis, the 115ter and the 116, a 120 mm bored-out version giving 160 kW. Applications included the Ambrosini SAI.3, the Breda Ba.79S and the Caproni Ca.309 Ghibli.
