The Guiberson A-1020 is a four-stroke diesel radial engine developed for use in aircraft and tanks.
Design and development
Development of the Guiberson diesel engine started in the 1930s with the A-918 and A-980 which was first flown in 1931. It is a single-row direct drive nine-cylinder four-cycle engine.[2]
Operational history
Production A-1020s and T-1020s were designed and sold by Guiberson and produced by Buda Engine Co.[2][3]
Variants
- Guiberson A-918
- Rated at 185 hp (138 kW) - one of the initial development models for use on aircraft.[4][5]
- Guiberson A-980
- Rated at 210 hp (160 kW) - one of the initial development models for use on aircraft.[2][4]
- Guiberson A-1020
- Rated at 310 hp (230 kW) - production engines for aircraft use.[2][5]
- Guiberson T-1020
- Rated at 250 hp (190 kW) - for use in light tanks such as the M-3 Stuart[2][6][5]
Applications
Surviving engines
- There is a T-1020 on display at the New England Air Museum, Bradley International Airport, Windsor Locks, CT.[7]
