The Isotta Fraschini Asso 200 was an inline, water-cooled aircraft engine created by Isotta Fraschini during the late 1920s.
Design and development
Established in 1898, Fabrica Automobili Isotta Fraschini (commonly known as Isotta Fraschini) specialized in producing automobiles and internal combustion engines. Throughout WWI, Isotta Fraschini supplied engines for numerous Italian military aircraft and airships, becoming one of Italy’s leading engine manufacturers. By the onset of WWII, the company possessed a broad range of engine designs but experienced limited large-scale contracts, with only a few notable exceptions.
The Asso 200 featured carbon steel cylinders that were individually cast and connected by a single aluminum cylinder head. The cylinders and their heads, along with the upper crankcase, crankshaft, and pistons, were consistent with those used across other engines within the same series.[1][2][3]
