A tandem twin engine, occasionally used in motorcycles and go-karts, is a two-cylinder engine which uses a similar design to U engines. The motor has two crankshafts, [ 12 ] [ 13 ] one for each cylinder [ 14 ] [ 15 ] which are joined and kept in co-ordination by load carrying, crank-phasing gears connecting the two cylinders.
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 flat-twin engine was used in several other cars since ...
In 1937, Howard Hughes began the design of an advanced twin-engine, twin-boom aircraft. The D-2's early gestation is historically obscure because Hughes Aircraft and its corporate successors have never released archives regarding the D-2; however, Howard Hughes had recently set a global circumnavigation speed record in a Lockheed 14.
With Pratt & Whitney starting development of their own 2,800 in 3 (46 L) displacement 18-cylinder, twin-row radial as the R-2800 Double Wasp in 1937, Wright's first R-3350 prototype engines with a 3,350 in 3 (54.9 L) displacement were run in May of the same year. Development was slow, due to the complexity, and the R-2600 receiving development ...

Machinery was installed and training given by Villiers, the first engine, a 125 cc single coming off the production line in September. In 1954 a 197 cc engine was introduced and the following year the factory extended to increase production to 10,000 units per year. [11] 250 and 325 cc twin-cylinder engines were added to the range in 1958. [12]
