The Mercedes D. IV was a 8-cylinder, liquid cooled inline aircraft engine built by Daimler and used on a small number of German aircraft during World War I. An aircraft engine is a Propulsion system for an Aircraft. Aircraft engines are almost always a type of lightweight Internal combustion engine. Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft ( Daimler Motor Company, DMG was a German Engine and later Automobile manufacturer in operation from 1890 World War I (abbreviated WWI; also known as the First World War, the Great War, and the War to End All The design was based around the pistons of the ubiquitous D.III 6-cylinder design and developed 162 kW (217 hp), making it a Class IV motor under the classification system then in use in Germany. The Mercedes DIII, or F1466 as it was known internally was a 6-cylinder liquid cooled inline Aircraft engine built by Daimler and used on a wide variety When the reliability of the engine proved disappointing, it was supplanted in production by the unrelated 6-cylinder Mercedes D.IVa. The Mercedes DIVa was a 6-cylinder water cooled inline engine developed in Germany for use in aircraft in 1917. Specifically, the long crankshaft used in extending the original straight-6 design to a straight-8 proved susceptible to breakage.
