Aeronca E-113

Template:Infobox Aircraft Engine

The E-113 was a small flat-2 piston engine developed by Aeronca for use in some of their light aircraft. It was a development of the E-107.

Design and development

Originally fitted with a single ignition system, this was uprated to dual ignition when changes in FAA regulations made this mandatory in 1939. By that time, however, both the engine and the aircraft that it powered were facing obsolescence. Altogether, some 1,800 examples were built.

The E-113-C was license built in England as the Aeronca-JAP J-99 by J A Prestwich Limited (JAP) and powered several British aircraft types.[1] It differed from the E-113 in that it was fitted with dual ignition.
