Lenape Aircraft and Motors Inc. was based in Matawan, NJ. They built engines with the following names and characteristics:
-Aeromarine AR3-160.
-Aeromarine AR3-340-161.
-Later they made the LM-3 and LM-365, called "Papoose" that delivered 50 and 65 HP with 3 radial cylinders and with 160 and 167 cu. in. of displacement. They were improved Aeromarines AR engines.
-The LM-5 and LM-125 were called "Brave", giving 85 and 125 hp. They were 5-cylinder radials.
“Bleriot XI model”
-The LM-7 engine, called "Chief", delivered 150 HP and had 7 radial cylinders with a total displacement of 378 cu. in.
-EL LM-375 was another "Papoose" giving 75 hp with 170 cu. in. of displacement.
-In the illustration a Bleriot XI with a Lenape Papoose 45/50 HP engine.
-The bizarre history of Lenape begins with the Aeromarine Plane and Motor Company and its successor Burnelli Aircraft Ltd., and eventually it was acquired by Lenape Aircraft and Motors Inc.
-So, the Aeromarine AR-3 engine would end up being the "Papoose" at Lenape, becoming the AR-3 Model 160.
-The Aeromarine AR-340 was the AR-340 Model 161.
-The five-cylinder AR-5 was the 90 HP Braves and the AR-7 was the 135 HP Chief.
-There was the Papoose LM-3 that gave 50 hp at 2,200 rpm. The LM-365 gave 65 HP at 2,350 rpm.
-The Papoose LM375 delivered 75 HP.
“Lenape Brave LM-5”
From Appendix 7: In the Hall of Fame of the Teterboro Aviation Museum (NJ) there is a Papoose with 3 radial cylinders.
-In the main text only one of 5 radial cylinders is shown.
