Small planes use boxer engines because they're lightweight, run smoothly, and have better cooling — all of which are crucial ...

These horizontally opposed engines are called "boxer engines," and they are oriented differently than every other engine configuration on the market.

These horizontally opposed engines are called "boxer engines," and they are oriented differently than every other engine configuration on the market.

The superb rotational balance of the horizontally-opposed engine allows low vibration because the pistons counteract each other to cancel it out.

The horizontally opposed engine was created in 1897, and Subaru is one of only a few automakers to rely almost entirely on its layout.

The Napier E124 Two-Stroke H-24 Diesel airplane engine was designed in the ‘30s. The dual horizontally opposed engine displaced 75 liters and had 24 cylinders and a gas turbine. It was ...

To overcome limitations of that engine, Aeronca designed its own engine, the E-107, and that engine proved inadequately powered for a larger aircraft. Certificated in April 1931, the Aeronca E-113 was ...

February 8, 2007 In 1896, when Karl Benz patented the first internal combustion engine, it had horizontally opposed pistons, and the flat boxermotor (the German term for flat engine) has been ...

Subaru said its next-generation, horizontally opposed engine will debut this year in the Forester and deliver a 10 percent boost in fuel economy. The four-cylinder engine, which will come in ...

In a horizontally-opposed Boxer engine, the pistons face each other in a side-to-side symmetrical layout and the opposing pistons work to cancel out the inertia force of each other, resulting in ...

In 1896, when Karl Benz patented the first internal combustion engine, it had horizontally opposed pistons, and the flat boxermotor (the German term for flat engine) has been powering some of the ...
