The most common type of flat-twin engine is the boxer-twin engine, where both pistons move inwards and outwards at the same time. The flat-twin design was patented by Karl Benz in 1896 and the first production flat-twin engine was used in the Lanchester 8 hp Phaeton car released in 1900.
The configuration of the engine and the horizontally opposed cylinder layout classifies them as boxer, opposed cylinder, horizontal or flat engines. They are different from an Opposed piston engine where the engine has two crankshafts and no cylinder head, as used in the Junkers Jumo 205 , whereas boxer-style engines have one crankshaft and two ...
Boxer engines have low vibration, being they are the only common configuration that has no unbalanced forces, regardless of the number of pairs of cylinders. Boxer engines therefore do not require either a balance shaft [ 4 ] or counterweights on the crankshaft to balance the weight of the reciprocating parts.
EJ255 Version 2: Used in the 2006–2014 WRX, the 2007–2009 Legacy GT, and the 2006–13 Forester XT. This is the newer AIS equipped EJ255, which uses a slightly different AB630 short block, as well as the AB820 heads. The only difference in the short block of this EJ255 and the 04–06 EJ257 is the pistons.
A flat-four engine, also known as a horizontally opposed-four engine or boxer engine, [1] is a four-cylinder piston engine with two banks of cylinders lying on opposite sides of a common crankshaft. The most common type of flat-four engine is the boxer-four engine , each pair of opposed pistons moves inwards and outwards at the same time.
In March 2018 the British Army rejoined the Boxer programme. The Boxer is an eight-wheeled multirole vehicle, consisting of two key elements: the platform/drive-line and the removable mission module. The mission module is a key feature of Boxer, it allowing the vehicle to be rapidly changed to meet different operational requirements.
A boxer-eight engine is a special case of a flat-eight where each piston's connecting rod has its own journal, and each pair of opposed pistons moves inwards or outwards at the same time. Flat-eight engines have been used in automotive, motorcycle, aircraft, and marine applications.
