Aeromarine 90hp
Type Piston aero engine
National originUnited States
Manufacturer Aeromarine
First run1914
Developed into Aeromarine K-6

The Aeromarine 90 hp was the first aircraft motor built by the Aeromarine Plane and Motor Company in 1914. In that year, Aeromarine had acquired the patents and manufacturing rights to the aircraft and engines of the Boland brothers. Although the Boland brothers didn't make a 6-cylinder engine, their V-8's all used the unusual concentric valve that is used in this engine. In spite of its model name, this engine only produced 85 hp (63 kW) at 1,400 rpm [1] [2] [3]

The Honda D series inline-four cylinder engine is used in a variety of compact models, most commonly the Honda Civic, CRX, Logo, Stream, and first-generation Integra. Engine displacement ranges between 1.2 and 1.7 liters. The D Series engine is either SOHC or DOHC, and might include VTEC variable valve lift. Power ranges from 66 PS (49 kW) in the Logo to 130 PS (96 kW) in the Civic Si. D-series production commenced 1984 and ended 2005. D-series engine technology culminated with production of the D15B 3-stage VTEC (D15Z7) which was available in markets outside of the United States. Earlier versions of this engine also used a single port fuel injection system Honda called PGM-CARB, signifying the carburetor was computer controlled.

The Aeromarine B-45 is an aircraft engine built by the Aeromarine Plane and Motor Company in 1915. The B-45 shares the same bore, stroke and valve configuration as the B-90, except in a 45° Vee configuration. The other primary difference are cast aluminum cylinders in place of the B-90's cast iron resulting in a 40 lb (18 kg) weight savings.

The Boland V-8 was an aircraft engine that was developed by the Boland Brothers for use in their tailless aircraft. Between 1908 and 1914, four versions of this motor were produced ranging in power from 60 hp (45 kW) to 125 hp (93 kW). The Boland motors all used an unusual concentric overhead valve. This arrangement positioned the intake valve in the middle of the exhaust valve. These were actuated by a single push rod and rocker arm.
