CNA C.II

The CNA C.II was a small, air-cooled, two cylinder horizontally opposed aircraft engine designed and built in Italy in the late 1930s.

C.II
Type Horizontally opposed air-cooled twin
National origin Italy
Manufacturer Compagnia Nazionale Aeronautica (CNA)
Produced 1937-41

Design

The low power, unsupercharged C.II had offset cylinders with special steel barrels and light alloy cylinder heads. The pistons were light alloy castings; the connecting rods were heat treated chrome-nickel steel, with split big ends. The CN.II had a one piece chrome-nickel steel crankshaft running in two roller bearings, with a ball thrust bearing. The crankcase was a one piece light alloy casting.[1]

gollark: I suppose so.
gollark: Well, my computer actually also emits electromagnetic radiation.
gollark: No, they contain transistors, which are *active* components.
gollark: Idea: resistors as monoids.
gollark: Capacitors are just complex resistors.
