From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Hiro Type 14 engine was a water-cooled twelve-cylinder W engine built by the Hiro Naval Arsenal (Hiro Kaigun Ko-sho) for the Imperial Japanese Navy. The Hiro Type 14 engine design was based on the Napier Lion engine that powered the Southamption seaplane. Like the Lion, it had three banks of four cylinders each, with the center bank upright, and the other two banks angled outward at a 45 degree angle. In some cases the W engine is referred to as the broad arrow configuration, due to its shape resembling the British government broad arrow property mark.[1] The first aircraft powered by type 14 engine was the H2H flying boat.[2]
