Air Force| |Type||10-cylinder radial piston| The Anzani 10 was a
1913 10-cylinder air-cooled radial aircraft engine. It powered
several experimental aircraft and also the later production
versions of the Caudron G.3 reconnaissance aircraft, the Caudron
G.4 bomber/trainer and the first production Cessna, the Model
AA. Design and development In the first decade of the 20th
century Anzani developed his upright 3-cylinder 'W' type
motorcycle engine, which powered Bleriot's successful Channel
crossing flight of 1909, into a three-cylinder symmetric or 'Y'
radial, and from that to a 6-cylinder double-row radial engine.
By 1912 he had built the Anzani 10, a 10-cylinder engine, air-
cooled like its predecessors, which, like other Anzani engines,
was made with different size cylinders. One of the more powerful
versions produced about 110 hp (82 kW) from 12.1 litres, a
British-built Anzani 10 was rated at 125 hp and a smaller
version with a displacement of
