Talk:Inboard motor

91.140.250.2 added "it is used for air craft engineering also" at the very bottom of the page. (diff)

I reverted this edit because it was badly formatted and it doesn't explain the connection between inboard motors and aircraft engineering. If there is one, please re-add this information. Thanks.

 * I think this probably refers to very early aircraft where the engine was mounted inboard and drove the propellors by chains. However, I agree that it needs further explanation. Biscuittin (talk) 09:05, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

As far as I know, the term "inboard engine" (and not motor) is related only to boats and not to ships. It is the opposite of "outboard motor", which does not apply to ships. Binot (talk) 06:03, 24 July 2010 (UTC)
