2. Engine configuration - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_configuration

   Douglas flat-twin motorcycle engine. Flat engines (also known as "horizontally-opposed" engines) have the cylinders arranged in two banks on either side of a single crankshaft. Boxer engines are a subtype of flat engines where opposing pistons move in and out in tandem. Types of flat engines include: Flat-2, commonly called "flat-twin" Flat-4 ...

3. Flat engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flat_engine

   A flat engine is a piston engine where the cylinders are located on either side of a central crankshaft. Flat engines are also known as horizontally opposed engines, however this is distinct from the less common opposed-piston engine design, whereby each cylinder has two pistons sharing a central combustion chamber.

4. Flat-four engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flat-four_engine

   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.

5. Flat-six engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flat-six_engine

   A boxer-style flat-six engine is able to have perfect primary and secondary balance.As in other six-cylinder engines, the overlapping of the power strokes of the different cylinders (with a firing interval of 120 degrees in a four-stroke engine) reduces the pulsating of the power delivery relative to that of similar engines with fewer cylinders.

6. Ferrari flat-12 engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferrari_flat-12_engine

   Three names for the Ferrari flat-12 engines are in common use: "flat-12", "180° V12" and "boxer." "Flat" does not specify crankshaft design and therefore can refer to either a non-boxer engine like the Ferrari or a true boxer engine like a Porsche flat-6. Alternatively, some sources prefer to call Ferrari flat-12 engines a "180° V12 ...

   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 ...

9. Flat-twin engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flat-twin_engine

   Boxer crankshaft configuration. Most flat-twin engines use a boxer configuration for the crankshaft and are therefore called "boxer-twin" engines. In a boxer-twin engine, the 180° crankshaft moves the pistons in phase with each other, therefore the forces generated by one piston are cancelled out by the other, resulting in excellent primary balance.
