Gnome ROTARY

8 aircraft on the U.S. register carry a Gnome ROTARY engine, rated at about 160 horsepower. The Antique Aero FOKKER E.III is the model most often fitted with it (1 aircraft). The aircraft carrying it were built between 1911 and 1994.

The FAA records engines by code, usually at the level of a series ("O-320 series") rather than the exact variant; this page gathers every FAA code that reads as Gnome ROTARY. FAA spelling: ROTARY.
