The Packard
Motorcar Company mass produced the Liberty 12 V-12 engine for
use in World War I. The company continued developing and
producing aircraft engines after the war, but was pretty much out of
the aviation picture by the early 1930s.
Less well known is that Packard manufactured the
LUSAC 11, a fighter aircraft designed in 1917.
During World War II, Packard mass-produced the
Rolls-Royce Merlin engine under license. The Merlin received
the designation V-1650 by the U.S. military. |
