A wing engine will typically be either: a small marine engine that may also serve as a generator when running; or; a diesel generator that may power (typically via a 12v or 24v battery pack) an electric motor that drives its own propeller shaft and propeller. In either case, the wing engine's propeller will be off-centre.
