The Green C.4 Aircraft Engine

The Green C.4 aero-engine was a British four-cylinder inline water-cooled engine designed by Gustavus Green and produced by the Aster Engineering Company for the Green Engine Company. The Green C.4 first ran in 1908 and had a single overhead camshaft with two valves per cylinder all enclosed, magneto ignition and force-feed lubrication. Although the Green C.4 engine looked bulky it was surprisingly light for the era.

The Green C.4 and Green D.4 were the only British aero engines capable of producing over 60hp when they were introduced in 1908 and were lightweight, in consequence they were an obvious choice for many early British racing planes.
