In-line 6, Sturtevant D-6 In-line Engine

 

  • Summary

Sturtevant D-6

Unlike most of its rivals, this engine was equipped with L-head rather than overhead valves. It powered Burgess, Curtiss, Wright, and Sturtevant seaplanes, many of which were purchased by the U.S. government. It was also used in several privately-owned land planes.
