The Menasco M-50 was an American four-cylinder horizontally-opposed aircraft engine.

[1] The engine was developed from 1937-1938 for use in Aeronca model KM light aircraft.

Despite there being a deal for an estimated 500 Menasco M50 engines, only 10 engines were delivered as the deal broke down.

Despite being initially being designed for aircraft usage, M-50 engines were also used to power midget race cars in Los Angeles.
