An Entity of Type: automobile, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

An aero-engined car is an automobile powered by an engine designed for aircraft use. Most such cars have been built for racing, and many have attempted to set world land speed records. While the practice of fitting cars with aircraft engines predates World War I by a few years, it was most popular in the interwar period between the world wars when military-surplus aircraft engines were readily available and used to power numerous high-performance racing cars. Initially powered by piston aircraft engines, a number of post-World War II aero-engined cars have been powered by aviation turbine and jet engines instead. Piston-engined, turbine-engined, and jet-engined cars have all set world land speed records. There have also been some non-racing automotive applications for aircraft engines, inc

  • An aero-engined car is an automobile powered by an engine designed for aircraft use. Most such cars have been built for racing, and many have attempted to set world land speed records. While the practice of fitting cars with aircraft engines predates World War I by a few years, it was most popular in the interwar period between the world wars when military-surplus aircraft engines were readily available and used to power numerous high-performance racing cars. Initially powered by piston aircraft engines, a number of post-World War II aero-engined cars have been powered by aviation turbine and jet engines instead. Piston-engined, turbine-engined, and jet-engined cars have all set world land speed records. There have also been some non-racing automotive applications for aircraft engines, including production vehicles such as the Tucker 48 and prototypes such as the Chrysler Turbine Car, Fiat Turbina, and General Motors Firebirds. In the late 20th century and into the 21st century, there has also been a revival of interest in piston-powered aero-engined racing cars. (en)
  • Une voiture à moteur d'avion est une automobile propulsée par un moteur conçu pour une utilisation dans un avion. La plupart de ces voitures furent construites pour la course, et beaucoup ont tenté de définir des records de vitesse terrestre mondiaux. Alors que la pratique de montage de moteurs d'avion dans des voitures est antérieure à la Première Guerre mondiale de quelques années, elle était la plus populaire dans l'entre-deux-guerres lorsque les surplus militaires de moteurs d'avions étaient facilement disponibles et utilisés pour l'alimentation de nombreuses voitures de course de haute performance. Initialement alimentées par des moteurs d'avion à pistons, un certain nombre de voitures après la Seconde Guerre mondiale furent propulsées par des turbines et des moteurs à réaction. Les voitures à moteurs à pistons, turbines et réacteurs ont toutes établi des records du monde de vitesse. Il y a eu aussi quelques applications automobiles de moteurs d'aéronefs, y compris dans des véhicules de production tels que la Tucker 48 et certains prototypes comme la Chrysler Turbine, la Fiat Turbina, et les Firebird de General Motors. À la fin du 20e siècle et à l'aube du 21e siècle, il y a également un regain d'intérêt pour les voitures de course à moteurs à pistons d'avion. (fr)
