The engine was designed to have better performance than the latest Atar engines but simpler and less costly than the SNECMA TF 306 turbofan. [1] The fan and HP compressor on the same shaft gave an engine with no restrictions on throttle movements, known as 'carefree handling', during flight.
The Liberty L-12 is an American water-cooled 45° V-12 engine, displacing 1,649 cubic inches (27 L) and making 400 hp (300 kW), designed for a high power-to-weight ratio and ease of mass production. It was designed principally as an aircraft engine and saw wide use in aero applications .
IV Liberty engine, fixing many of the reliability issues previously encountered. Nuffield Mechanizations followed this with the Cavalier tank which also used the Liberty engine. Though the tank was put into production the power of the Liberty engine was limited and because of the increase in tank weight the Cavalier was not used in combat.
These engines responded very well to supercharging, typically using a piston type charger (e.g. DKW SS 350), though the 1939 250 and 350 US models used rotary superchargers. Zoller had something rather larger in mind, and his 12-cylinder 1500cc racing engine (with twin Zoller superchargers) produced 200 bhp - he also made a 723cc eight cylinder ...

The T406/AE 1107C Liberty shares a common core with the AE 3007 turbofan and AE 2100 turboprop series of engines, both of which have sold in the thousands of copies. [10] [11] 44-46 percent of parts are common between the T406 and the AE 3007, while about 76 percent of parts are common between the T406 and the AE 2100. [12]
These early Oldsmobile straight eights have the distributor mounted on the cylinder head whereas the later 257.1 engine has it mounted down on the left side of the engine. This series of engine was shared with the LaSalle during the 1934–1936 period, but its variant had a slightly increased capacity at 248 cubic inches.
The 102 hp (76 kW) engine was designed and manufactured by the Hudson Motor Car Company and was mainly intended for use in training airplanes. [2] Only two examples of the L-4B were produced, since other types of engines were available and in production. While the engine was ground-tested, it is unknown if the L-4 was ever test-flown.
