The Fiat A.20 was an Italian aircraft powerplant from the 1920s, featuring a water-cooled V12 engine configuration. This engine powered early models of the Fiat CR.20 fighter as well as the Macchi M.41 seaplane.
In 1923, FIAT developed the A.15, a water-cooled V12 engine producing 430 hp (320 kW). Although the A.15 did not enter production, it served as the foundation for the Fiat A.20. The A.20 introduced a Monobloc engine design and maintained comparable power output despite reducing displacement from 20.3 to 18.7 liters (1,239 to 1,141 cubic inches).
