Information about Inline Engine
Inline engine may refer to:
- In automotive use it is used as a synonym for straight engine
- In aviation it means any reciprocating engine with banks rather than rows of cylinders, including straight engines, flat engines, V engines and H engines, but excluding radial engines and rotary engines
straight engine (often designated inline engines) is an internal-combustion engine with all cylinders aligned in one row, with no or only minimal offset.
A straight engine is considerably easier to build than an otherwise equivalent horizontally opposed or V engine because

A reciprocating engine, also often known as a piston engine, is a heat engine that uses one or more pistons to convert pressure into a rotating motion. This article describes the common features of all types.

flat engine is an internal combustion engine with pistons that are all relatively horizontal. A straight engine canted 90 degrees from straight up is a flat engine, as is one in which the cylinders are arranged in two banks on either side of a single crankshaft.

A V engine is a common configuration for an internal combustion engine. The pistons are aligned so that they appear to be in a V when viewed along the axis of the crankshaft. The V configuration reduces the overall engine length and weight compared to an equivalent straight engine.

H engine (or H-block) is an engine configuration in which the cylinders are aligned so that if viewed from the front appear to be in a vertical or horizontal letter H.
An H engine can be viewed as two flat engines, one atop the other.
