The Allison V-1710 aircraft engine designed and produced by the Allison Engine Company was the only US-developed V-12 liquid-cooled engine to see service during World War II. Versions with a turbocharger gave excellent performance at high altitude in the twin-engined Lockheed P-38 Lightning , and turbo-superchargers were fitted to experimental ...
The very first V-1710 was purchased by the U.S. Navy as their GV-1710-2, and appears to have had an Allison serial of number 1, suggesting that they restarted numbering for the V-1710. The first V-1710 engine purchased by the USAAC was AAC 33-42, Allison Serial No. 2, the XV-1710-1, while Serial Nos. 3, 4, 5 were V-1710-4 engines for U.S. Navy ...

The result was the V1710 12-cylinder aircraft engine and it made the company, renamed to the Allison Division of GM in 1934, [3] also known as the Allison Engine Company, a major force in aviation. [7] Plant 3 was built in 1939, a 360,000 sq ft (33,000 m 2) factory to build V1710 engines.
The XB-38 was the result of a modification project undertaken by Vega (a subsidiary of Lockheed) on a Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress to fit it with liquid-cooled Allison V-1710-89 V-12 engines. It was to be an improved B-17, and an alternative if the normally fitted air-cooled Wright R-1820 radial engines became scarce. Completing the ...
The XB-16 (Model 145A) was to use four Allison V-1710 liquid-cooled reciprocating V-engines; contemporary American aircraft used air-cooled radial engines. In 1935, Martin revised the XB-16 design as the Model 145B. The wingspan was increased from 140 ft (43 m) to 173 ft (53 m), and a set of V-1710 engines added to the trailing edge.
You're probably familiar with combustion engines and battery-powered electric vehicles like those made by electric vehicle (EV) powerhouse Tesla. These options aren't the only means of providing ...
The T29E1 trialed the use of a Allison V1710 V12 engine.; [4] while the T29E3 variant featured a coincidence rangefinder projecting from both sides of the turret, distinctively resembling "ears". The tank weighed approximately 132,000 lb (60 t; 59 long tons) unloaded and 141,000 lb (64 t; 63 long tons) combat loaded.
