multicylinder

Multicylinder engines are internal combustion engines with more than one cylinder. They are commonly used in automobiles, aircraft, and industrial machinery due to their ability to produce high power and torque. The most common types of multicylinder engines are inline, V, and flat (or boxer) configurations. Inline engines have cylinders arranged in a straight line, while V engines have cylinders arranged in a V shape. Flat engines have cylinders arranged in two rows, with each cylinder firing on the same plane. Multicylinder engines can be further classified as naturally aspirated or turbocharged, depending on the method of air induction. Turbocharged engines use a turbine to force air into the cylinders, increasing power output. Multicylinder engines are typically more complex and expensive to manufacture than single-cylinder engines, but they offer significant advantages in terms of performance and reliability. They are widely used in modern transportation and industrial applications due to their efficiency and power output.
