The Walter Minor 12 was a 12-cylinder, air-cooled, V engine for aircraft use built in Czechoslovakia by Walter Aircraft Engines in the late-1930s.
Sharing the bore and stroke dimensions of the Walter Minor and the layout of the Sagitta this engine was first run in 1937. It appeared at the Paris Air Show in 1938 along with other engines from the Walter range. [1] The engine passed a type test in January 1939 and was considered for an unproduced aircraft project, the Polish RWD 22, but due to the outbreak of World War II development and production of this engine did not continue.

The Blackburn Cirrus Midget was a British four-cylinder, inverted, inline air-cooled aero engine designed and built in 1937 by the Cirrus Engine Section of Blackburn Aircraft Limited. Little is known of its development and use, its sole aircraft application being reported as the Chilton D.W.1 although it is possible that this did not transpire.
The Renault 70 hp or Type WB was a French V-8 aero engine that first ran circa 1907. It was also manufactured under license by Renault Limited of West Brompton, London between August 1914 and December 1918, three other companies, including Rolls-Royce, also produced the engine. A variant known as the Type WC used an external oil pump as opposed to the internal pump of the Type WB. The Renault V-8 engines were noted as inefficient but reliable, the inefficiency being mainly due to the excessively rich fuel/air mixture used to assist cooling.
