Saroléa Albatros

The Saroléa Albatros was a 22 kW (30 hp) flat twin air-cooled aircraft engine, produced just before World War II in Belgium.

[1] It had chrome-nickel steel machined piston barrels, with closely spaced 3.0 mm (0.12 in) cooling fins.

The cylinder heads were aluminium alloy, with hemispherical combustion chambers and bronze valve seats.

The crankshaft was a chrome nickel steel forging, running in a combination of roller and ball bearings; a ball bearing at the output side crankshaft end allowed the Albatros to be used in either pusher or tractor configuration.

[1] With a maximum power of only 24 kW (32 hp) at 2,650 rpm, the Abatros was targeted at the small single seat sports aircraft of the day.
