Continental Aircraft Engines

Teledyne Continental Motors (TCM) is an aircraft engine manufacturer located in Mobile, Alabama. Originally spun off from Continental Motors in 1929 and owned by Teledyne Technologies until December 2010, today the company is part of AVIC International and owned by the Government of the People's Republic of China.[1][2]

Although Continental is most well known for its light aviation engines, they were also contracted to produce the air-cooled V-12 AV-1790-5B gasoline engine for the U.S. Army's M47 Patton tank and the diesel AVDS-1790-2A and its derivatives for the M48 and M60 Patton main battle tanks. The company also produced engines for various independent manufacturers of automobiles, tractors, and stationary equipment (i.e. pumps, generators, machinery drives) from the 1920s through the 1960s.
