The XIV-2220 is an experimental sixteen cylinder liquid-cooled, inverted V engine, separated into 2 V-8 sections so a propeller reduction gear could be located in between them. Because of its relatively high power-to-weight ratio, 2500 hp and 2430 lbs., it was intended primarily for World War II fighter aircraft. It powered the experimental XP-47H to a speed of over 490 mph. It was not put into production because a decision was made to put efforts into much needed engines already at production status.
