Home›Engines›Year›By Decade›1950sBrowse By1950sThis dimension groups engines by the year they were introduced. Engine history is often dated with real precision, as when Wikipedia notes that "in 1672, a small-scale steam-powered vehicle was created by Ferdinand Verbiest," decades before the automobile itself existed. Browsing by year places an engine within the wider timeline of transport technology.Facts1950sConnectionsSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonEra of EmergenceWell-attested1712 CE 11950sFilter Results67 entriesEngine TypeAllAmerican V8 Engines (7)Diesel Locomotive Engines (2)Motorcycle Engine Layouts and Designs (1)Racing and Formula One Engines (2)Road Car Engines of Europe and Japan (4)Turbojet and Turbofan Engines (2)ConfigurationAllDeltic Triangle (1)Flat or Boxer (1)Inline (4)V-Configuration (10)Fuel or CycleAllDiesel (2)Gasoline / Petrol (4)Jet Fuel / Turbine (2)ManufacturerAllAlfa Romeo (1)American Locomotive Company (1)American Motors Corporation (2)Bentley Motors (1)D.
