	{{List of Continental Models}}'''Continental ~~Motors~~''' ~~is a corporation in Mobile, Alabama, USA, that produces aircraft engines. They are currently part~~ of the ~~Teledyne conglomerate~~, ~~and properly known as '''Teledyne Continental'''~~.		{{List of Continental Models}}'''Continental''' was the name brand of an automobile produced between 1933/1934 by the [[Continental Motors]] Company, now of Alabama.

	~~The company produced engines for various independent manufactures~~ of [[automobiles~~]], tractors, and stationary equipment (i~~.~~e. pumps generators machinery drives) from~~ the ~~1920s through the 1960s. The~~ company ~~had two major production plants located~~ in ~~Muskegon~~, ~~Michigan and Detroit, Michigan (closed in 1965). Continental Motors also produced~~ [[~~Continental automobile\|Continental~~]] ~~branded automobiles~~ in [[~~1932~~]]~~/[[1933]] based upon~~ the ~~[[1931]] [[De Vaux]]~~, a ~~product of the [[De Vaux~~ Motors~~]] Corporations of Oakland, California~~, ~~which had been~~ using body dies ~~left over from~~ the ~~former~~ [[~~Durant (automobile)\|Durant~~]], ~~which been produced by [[Durant Motors]] until [[1930]]~~.		Continental Motors entered into the production of automobiles rather indirectly. Continental was the producer of automobile engines for numerous independent automobile company's in the 1920s, including the [[Durant Motors]] Corporation which used the engines in its Star, [[Durant]], '''Flint''' and '''Rugby''' model lines. Following the collapse of Durant, a group having interest in Durant Motors began assembling their own cars, using the Durant body dies, in California under the [[DeVaux]] brand name. When DeVaux collapsed in 1932, Continental assumed automobile assembly and marketed the vehicles under the Continental brand name.

	~~Although~~ Continental ~~is most well known for its light aviation engines~~, ~~they were also contracted to produce~~ the ~~air-cooled V12 "AV-1790-5B" [[gasoline]] engine for~~ the ~~U.S. Army~~'~~s M47 [[Patton tank]]~~ and the ~~[[diesel]] AVDS-1790-2A and its derivitives for~~ the [[~~Patton tank~~\|~~M48 Patton~~]] ~~and~~ [[~~Patton tank~~\|~~M60]] series [[Tank classification\|main battle tanks~~]].		Continental's were marketed in three model ranges, the '''Ace''', the '''Flyer''' and the '''Beacon''', none of which met with success in the depression era economy. At this same time, [[Frontenac\|Dominion Motors LTD.]] of Canada was building the same cars independent of Continental for sale in Canadian market through 1933 when it converted to building [[REO Motor Car Company\|Reo]] brand trucks. Finding that its cars were unprofitable, Continental stopped assembling automobiles during the 1934 model year.

	~~==Company history==~~		{{Classicprw-auto-stub}}
	~~[[1905 in aviation\|1905]] Continental Motors is born with the introduction of a four~~-~~cylinder, [[four stroke cycle]] [[L~~-~~head]] [[internal combustion engine\|engine]] operated by a single [[camshaft]].~~

	~~[[1906 in aviation\|1906]] Type "O" 45 hp (34 kW) engine is developed to power aircraft.~~

	~~[[1929 in aviation\|1929]] A-70 [[radial engine\|radial]], seven-cylinder engine is introduced.~~

	~~[[1930 in aviation\|1930]] A-40 four-cylinder engine is introduced.~~

	~~[[1938 in aviation\|1938]] A-50 is added to the lineup to power the [[Piper Cub]] and [[Taylorcraft Aircraft\|Taylorcraft]].~~

	~~[[1939 in aviation\|1939]] Continental builds aircraft engines for use in British and American tanks.~~

	~~[[1945 in aviation\|1945]] Six-cylinder E-185 developed for [[Beechcraft]] Bonanza.~~

	[[1950s]] [[Continental A-65\|A-65]] developed into the more powerful C-90 and eventually to the 100 hp (75 kW) [[Continental O-200\|O-200]]. The latter powered a very important airplane design milestone: the [[Cessna 150]].

	[[1960s]] [[turbocharger\|Turbocharging]] and [[fuel injection]] are brought to general aviation. A turbocharger allows the engine to power the aircraft to a higher altitude where the air is thinner. This can occasionally allow the aircraft to fly above a storm, which is a major safety benefit. Fuel injection allows the aircraft to perform aggressive maneuvers without suffering the fuel starvation that a carburetor may incur. The IO-520's applications expand to dominate the market.

	~~[[1984 in aviation\|1984]] TSIO-520-BE for the [[The New Piper Aircraft\|Piper]] Malibu. It sets new efficiency standards for light aircraft piston engines.~~

	[[1986 in aviation\|1986]] Powered by a liquid cooled version of the IO-240, the [[Scaled Composites Voyager\|Voyager]] is the first piston-powered aircraft to circumnavigate the world without refueling.

	[[1997 in aviation\|1997]] [[NASA]] selects Continental to develop and produce GAP, a new 200-hp piston engine that operates on Jet-A fuel. This is in response to 100-octane aviation gasoline becoming less available in the face of decreased demand, as a result of smaller [[turboprop]] engines becoming more prevalent due to their long service life.

	~~[[1999 in aviation\|1999]] Continental develops and tests its first [[FADEC]]-equipped engine.~~
