The IV-2040 was an inverted V-12 (sometimes described with a 60° V-angle between cylinder banks) with liquid cooling to manage the high power output. It incorporated a reduction gear for the propeller and a sophisticated two-stage, two-speed supercharger. No public details on bore, stroke, or exact displacement have been widely published, though its power rating placed it in the same class as contemporary high-output engines from Allison, Packard, and Pratt & Whitney. |
