Opposed-piston engines. Diesel Air Limited is a British company developing a 75 kW (100 hp) twin-cylinder (therefore four-piston), two-stroke opposed-piston engine inspired by the original Junkers design. Their engine has flown in test aircraft and airship installations.

An opposed-piston engine is a piston engine in which each cylinder has a piston at both ends, and no cylinder head. Petrol and diesel opposed-piston engines have been used mostly in large-scale applications such as ships, military tanks, and factories.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Fairbanks-Morse 38 8-1/8 is a diesel engine of the two-stroke, opposed-piston type. [1] It was developed in the 1930s, and is similar in arrangement to a contemporary series of German Bombers aircraft diesels. [2]

Opposed-piston, opposed-stroke diesel engines have been used previously in aircraft and perhaps most famously in the Junkers Jumo 205 and 207 engines built in the 1940s. Both of these were opposed-piston, opposed-stroke, diesel engines that generated between 700 and 1000hp at takeoff. However, the Junkers engines were large engines used in.

Two Stroke Opposed Piston Gasoline Diesel Aims for Super High Efficiency
Achates Power has been developing a 10.6 L opposed-piston (OP) 2-stroke cycle diesel engine, targeting Class 8 heavy-duty truck applications. In December, the company announced that the 3-cylinder, 300 kW OP engine achieved NOx emissions of 0.02 g/bhp-hr, which would meet the California 2027 emission requirements over the FTP cycle.

Opposed piston engine developed 140 years ago The Western Producer
Opposed-piston engines (OPEs) have been around a long time—more than a century to be exact. First manufactured in 1890, these engines continue to be used in ground, marine and aviation applications worldwide. Unlike traditional four-stroke engines, OPEs combine two pistons per cylinder, working in opposite, reciprocating motion.

Video Opposing Views — Looking At Six OpposedPiston Engine Designs
Introduction. Opposed Piston Engine is a type of diesel engine which has two pistons working in the same cylinder. Technically, opposed piston engine is just a variation in the design of conventional engine.Each of the cylinders of the engine has two pistons, one at each end. The main advantage of opposed piston arrangement over others is that they have a higher power to weight ratio.
