de Havilland Gipsy Six

The de Havilland Gipsy Six engine is a British six-cylinder inverted inline engine introduced in the early 1930s by de Havilland. It delivered between 200 and 220 hp, making it a popular choice for a variety of light aircraft. Its inverted configuration allows for better pilot visibility over the nose of the aircraft, a crucial feature for both civilian and military applications. The engine's robustness and performance contributed to its widespread use in the 1930s, though it was limited to non-combat aircraft such as racers, transports and trainers.
