HRD VINCENT | AIRCRAFT ENGINE

Vincent Picador Drone Aircraft Engine Vincent developed the Picador Drone engine supplying motors for the ML Aviation U120D target drone. The project was named ‘Picador project’ and the motor developed (Vincent Picador Drone Engine) need to pass the full power operation tests.

Though target drones have long been used by the military, in earlier years, they were far from being the sophisticated fliers we have today. It seems, sometime in WWII, Vincent tried to get a government contract supplying motors for the ML Aviation U120D target drone. The years involved are unclear because all references I found are a bit vague. The motor had to be capable of passing prolonged full power operation tests. This was called the Picador project. The Vincent motor was upgraded with a better crankshaft, Scintilla magneto, double speed oil pump and fuel injection. They did not get a contract.
