The Piaggio P.XIX was an Italian aircraft engine produced by Rinaldo Piaggio S.p.A. during World War II and used to power aircraft of the Regia Aeronautica.
Development
The engine was part of a line of 14-cylinder radial engines developed from Piaggio based on the Gnome-Rhône Mistral Major, which was itself loosely based on the Bristol Jupiter.{{cite book|first=Bill|last=Gunston|title=World Encyclopedia of Aero Engines|place=London|publisher=Guild Publishing|year=1986|page=125}} It was derived from the earlier P.XI but with a higher compression ratio.
Variants
;P.XIX R.C.45 Turbine: Geared, rated altitude {{convert|4500|m|ft|abbr=on}}
;P.XIX R.C.50: Geared
Applications
- CANT Z.1007ter
- Macchi MC.200bis prototype
- Reggiane Re.2002
The engine was also fitted experimentally to single versions of the IMAM Ro.57 and Savoia-Marchetti SM.82 (serial number MM.60591).{{cite web|first=Aymeric|last=Lopez|title=Savoia Marchetti S.82 "Marsupiale"|year=2016|website=Italie 1939-1945|url=http://www.italie1935-45.com/regia-aeronautica/appareils/item/353-savoia-marchetti-s-82-marsupiale|language=French|accessdate=28 August 2018}}
