A flooded engine is an internal combustion engine that has been fed an excessively rich air-fuel mixture that cannot be ignited. [1] This is caused by the mixture exceeding the upper explosive limit for the particular fuel. An engine in this condition will not start until the excessively rich mixture has been cleared. [2]

The range comprises three radial engines, namely: a "cross-4"; a twin-row "cross-8"; and a V-twin. [3] As yet, there are no plans for a 3-cylinder version. The AOPA website explains the "cross-4" ZO 01A as follows: "The radial design was chosen for its ability to be effectively air-cooled and 100% balanced at all rpm with a simple counterweight system.
