The CNA C.II was a compact, air-cooled, two-cylinder horizontally opposed aircraft powerplant developed and manufactured in Italy during the late 1930s.
Design
Featuring a modest power output and no supercharging, the C.II incorporated offset cylinders constructed with specialized steel barrels paired with lightweight alloy cylinder heads. Its pistons were fabricated from light alloy castings, while the connecting rods utilized heat-treated chrome-nickel steel and included split big end bearings. The CN.II employed a one-piece chrome-nickel steel crankshaft supported by two cylindrical roller bearings and a ball thrust bearing. The engine’s crankcase was formed as a single-piece casting made from light alloy.[1]
