The Mitsubishi L2A, L2C, and L2B engines were a family of air-cooled, horizontally opposed, four-cylinder engines designed and manufactured by Mitsubishi Motors for use in a variety of applications, primarily in light aircraft and small cars. The L2A, first introduced in 1958, established the foundation for the series, with its 1.1-liter displacement and a power output of around 60 horsepower. The L2C, launched in 1960, incorporated improvements like a larger 1.2-liter displacement and a higher compression ratio, resulting in a power boost to approximately 70 horsepower. The L2B, introduced in 1966, utilized a larger 1.3-liter displacement and further refined design elements, pushing the power output to around 80 horsepower. These engines were known for their lightweight design, ease of maintenance, and reliable performance, making them popular choices for both civilian and military applications.
These Mitsubishi engines found their way into a diverse range of vehicles. The L2A powered the Mitsubishi Minica, a compact car designed for the Japanese market, while the L2C was employed in the Mitsubishi Colt, an export model known for its efficiency and practicality. In the realm of aviation, the L2A and L2C engines powered various light aircraft, including the Fuji FA-20, the Mitsubishi MU-2, and the Piper Cherokee. The L2B, offering the highest power output of the series, was primarily utilized in the Mitsubishi MU-2B, a larger and more powerful business aircraft. The L2A, L2C, and L2B engines, despite their simplicity, became synonymous with Mitsubishi's engineering prowess and played a significant role in the company's early rise in the automotive and aviation industries.
