The 35 hp (26 kW) Verner JCV 360 was also part of the product line until about 2013 when the company ended production of its horizontally-opposed engines to concentrate on the producing radial engines, starting with the Verner Scarlett 7H seven cylinder, four stroke radial, aimed at the antique and replica market.
The Verner Scarlett 7H is a Czech aircraft radial engine, designed and produced by Verner Motor of Šumperk for use in ultralight and homebuilt aircraft. [ 1 ] By April 2018 the engine was no longer advertised on the company website and seems to be out of production.
The first radial-configuration engine known to use a twin-row design was the 160 hp Gnôme "Double Lambda" rotary engine of 1912, designed as a 14-cylinder twin-row version of the firm's 80 hp Lambda single-row seven-cylinder rotary, however reliability and cooling problems limited its success.
A wide variety of V-12 and radial engines were fitted, due to problems with several of the engines chosen, with later versions generally using radial engines. At the end of World War I the United States Navy was operating the Curtiss H.16 and the Felixstowe F5L Long-range patrol flying boats , which had been developed in collaboration with the ...

Engineering began in 1942 but the first flight of an R-1300 did not take place until 1949. The engine was produced under license by Kaiser-Frazer and later by AVCO Lycoming. [2] The engine was used in combat — the R-1300-1A and -1B in the A model North American T-28 Trojan and the R-1300-3, -3A, -3C and -3D in the Sikorsky H-19 Chickasaw.
The Hispano-Suiza 14AB, a.k.a. Hispano-Suiza Type 80, was a 14-cylinder twin-row air-cooled radial engine. In 1929 the Hispano-Suiza company bought a license to produce the Wright Whirlwind engine. The technology from that engine was used to produce a number of different radial engines with greater displacements, power, and number of cylinders.
Major problems with both the engines and this experimental bomber aircraft led to cancellation of the projects. [2] The Siddeley Tiger marked the end of the aero engine line started by Beardmore and Siddeley-Deasy. The name was later re-used for an Armstrong Siddeley radial engine. [2]
