The Fiat A.24 was a 1920s Italian aircraft engine featuring a water-cooled V-12 configuration.
Design and development
In the latter part of the 1920s, Fiat launched a series of water-cooled engines for aircraft, which encompassed the A.20, A.22, A.24, A.25, and A.30 models.[1] These engines were all upright V-12s with cylinder banks set at a 60° angle; their displacements varied from 18.7 L to 54.5 L (1,141–3,326 cu in), delivering power outputs ranging between 320 kW and 745 kW (430–1,000 hp).[1][2] The A.24 produced 520 kW (700 hp) from a 32.3 L (1,971 cu in) displacement, positioning it near the middle of this spectrum.
Following guidance from the Italian government to streamline their water-cooled engine lineup, Fiat concentrated on the A.20, A.22, and A.30 models, resulting in limited production of the A.24.[1][2]
