== Aircraft engines == The [[Napier Lion]] was a three-bank design (also called "broad arrow" design) W12 engine produced in the United Kingdom from 1917 to the late 1930s. It had a capacity of {{convert|24|L|cuin|0}} and produced {{convert|450|-|900|hp|kW|0|abbr=on|order=flip}}. As well as use in various military and racing airplanes, the Lion was also used in land speed record cars (such as the [[Napier-Railton]] and the [[Napier-Campbell Blue Bird]]) and racing boats (such as the [[Miss Britain III]]). During the 1920s, the [[Farman 12We]] aircraft engine was produced in France. The 12We produced {{convert|500|hp|kW|abbr=on|0}} and was one of the company's best-selling engines in the 1920s. The [[Lorraine 12E Courlis]] is another W12 aircraft engine that was produced in France during the 1920s and 1930s.
