The wife and I are struggling for names and we’re running out of time. No idea what we’re having. Throw some names out there…

Daimler-Benz DB 605 35.7L V12 supercharged inverted inline engine

Been watching Mat Armstrong and that boat?

Edit: Actually I think his was from after the DB -> MB rename, so it's a Mercedes-Benz MB 605 or whatever the exact number was. A pair of giant V12 diesels anyway.

Yeah I meant the gasoline powered engines used in the BF-109 and BF-110 lol.

Hence the inverted V12. They flipped the engine to make it easier to service on the ground.
