Adaptation of an automobile engine for aeronautical use.

-Date of the adaptation: 1948. It gave 26 CV at 3,600 rpm.

"Dyna - Panhard"

-The application of the engine on this utility car, which appeared after WWII like the Citroën 2CV, is mentioned in the main text.

-We have a photo from the English "The Motor" magazine, where we can see the architecture of this engine in a more detailed way with two horizontally-opposed, air-cooled cylinders, in an eminently aeronautical style.

-It is not surprising that it was used in light and sport aircraft.

From Appendix 10: After its adaptation this French engine has been installed on the Polish motor-glider "Pegaz" as we see in the drawing below.

-As it seems to have 4 cylinders instead of the two on the Dyna-Panhard, the Author supposes that it could better be an RB (Riedel-Borzecki). Therefore it does not seem to correspond the text with the drawing.

-It seems to be a XL-GAD giving 31 CV (?).
