What are modern flat engines that aren't cylinder banks opposite each other?
I've never seen a flat radial, but perhaps they were a thing.
I suppose there could also be horizontal cylinders in offset planes, but haven't seen one of those either.

A boxer is only one type of horizontally opposed engine.
A flat engine is slang for a horizontally opposed engine.
