This is the wild-looking Packard 2775, a 24-cylinder "X" engine. The "X" represents the arrangement of the engine's banks of cylinders, which in this case form the shape of an X. This engine was developed in the 1920s as the powerplant for a US Navy aircraft that was hoped would win the Schneider Trophy Race. All 24 pistons connected to a single crankshaft in the middle, and in total the 2775 displaced 2,775 cu in (45.5 litres). On this engine, it was possible to mount four spark plugs per cylinder (two per side). It made an impressive 1,500 hp before the 1930s, but it was never fitted to an aircraft and only a few were built.
