Hispano-Suiza 12YCRS V-12 Engine, ca. 1932. Creator: Hispano-Suiza
Marc Birkigt, an inventor of Swiss origin, developed Hispano-Suiza (meaning Spanish-Swiss) engines, and first manufactured them in Barcelona for use in automobiles. Hisso engines were very successful and, to save weight, featured innovative cast-aluminum cylinder construction with internal water passages and screwed-in steel sleeves. Particularly to meet demand in World War I required licensing of Hisso aircraft engine manufacturing in France, England and the U.S by Wright-Martin, later the Wright Aeronautical Corporation

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable Hispano-Suiza 12YCRS V-12 Engine, a true marvel of engineering from around 1932. Created by the ingenious Swiss inventor Marc Birkigt, this engine was initially manufactured in Barcelona under the name Hispano-Suiza, which translates to Spanish-Swiss. The Hisso engines gained immense popularity due to their exceptional performance and innovative design features. To reduce weight without compromising durability, these engines boasted ground-breaking cast-aluminum cylinder construction with internal water passages and screwed-in steel sleeves. Such advancements were particularly crucial during World War I when demand for aircraft engines soared high. In order to meet this soaring demand, licensing agreements were established with Wright-Martin in France, England, and the United States. Eventually, Wright-Martin evolved into the renowned Wright Aeronautical Corporation. This photograph is a testament to both technological prowess and historical significance. It captures an era when automobiles were rapidly evolving alongside aviation technology. The image highlights not only the exquisite craftsmanship of this particular engine but also serves as a reminder of how transportation has shaped our world. Preserved within the National Air and Space Museum's collection at AC Cars Ltd. , this piece exemplifies heritage art that continues to inspire future generations in scientific institutions worldwide. Let us cherish such artifacts that symbolize human ingenuity and progress throughout history while appreciating their contribution towards revolutionizing road transport and propulsion systems alike.
