A V24 engine is a 24-cylinder piston engine where two banks of twelve cylinders are arranged in a V-shaped configuration around a single crankshaft. The majority of V24 engines are "dual V12" engines, where two separate V12 engines are placed in line with each other.
Fiat AS.6 engine
Script error: No such module "Labelled list hatnote". The Fiat AS.6 engine was built in the early 1930s to power the Macchi M.C.72 plane, which was intended to compete in the 1931 Schneider Trophy air races. This engine was formed by mounting two Fiat AS.5 V12 engines one behind the other, with the front engine powering the rear propeller and the rear engine powering the front propeller.[1] The combined displacement was more than Template:Cvt and the combined power output was approximately Template:Cvt.[2]
Mechanical problems prevented the airplane from competing. The Macchi M.C.72 achieved an average top speed of Template:Cvt on 23 October 1934. This set the record for a piston-powered seaplane, which still stands.[3]
Detroit Diesel 24V71
The Detroit Diesel Series 71 24V71 engine had a displacement of Template:Cvt and Template:Cvt. They were manufactured from 1994 to 1997.
Jenbacher J624
One of the few, if not the only, V24 engines in production is the Austrian-made Jenbacher J624 gas engine for electric power generation and CHP applications. The engine makes use of two-stage turbocharging. It offers a bore and stroke of Template:Cvt. The total swept volume of the 24-cylinder engine is Template:Cvt. Depending on application, the engine can operate on various fuels with the genset generating up to Template:Cvt.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
