  1. The Napier Deltic was based on Napier investigating the use of a diesel engine in aircraft. They bought the rights for a Junkers Jumo engine. it was unsuccessful in aircraft. After the war a Deltic was fitted in an E Boat, it weighed a third of the previous German petrol engine. There have been many opposed piston engines due to there weight to power ratio. The largest I am aware of was the Doxford Maine Engine
