Beardmore 160 hp

The Beardmore 160 hp is a British six-cylinder, water-cooled aero engine that first ran in 1916.

[1] The engine featured cast iron cylinders and mild steel concave pistons.

Produced between March 1916 and December 1918, the design powered many World War I aircraft types.

It was noted that the engine was not as reliable as its smaller capacity predecessor.

The engine was found complete and in a preserved condition in a farm shed in Uruguay, after a complete overhaul and ground test runs the engine powered the company's F.E.2b replica on its maiden flight.
