What Are the Engine Arrangement Types?

[VanArthur]

Engine arrangement types include: 1. L-Type: Also known as inline engines, where cylinders are arranged in a straight line, aligned side by side at the same angle in a single plane; 2. V-Type: Divides all cylinders into two groups, arranging adjacent cylinders at a certain angle to form two planes with an angle between them, appearing as a 'V' shape from the side; 3. H-Type: Also called horizontally opposed engines, a variant of V-type engines where the angle is extended to 180 degrees; 4. W-Type: A proprietary engine technology of Volkswagen Group, combining two V-type engines to form another V-type engine.
