The Napier Cub was an unusual and very large experimental 1,000 horsepower (750 kW) 16-cylinder 'X' pattern liquid-cooled aero engine built by the British engine company D. Napier & Son. The Cub was the only Napier 'X' engine design. First flown on 15 December 1922 in an Avro Aldershot biplane bomber aircraft, the only other application was in the Blackburn Cubaroo. Only six engines of this type were ordered and produced.

- Il Napier Cub era un motore aeronautico sperimentale ad X raffreddato a liquido prodotto dall'azienda britannica Napier Aero Engines negli anni venti. Il Cub rimase l'unico esempio di motore ad X prodotto dall'azienda britannica, anche a causa della grande difficoltà nella messa a punto, mai risolta completamente, tipica di questa inusuale architettura di motore. Tuttavia, dopo averlo fatto girare al banco per la prima volta nel 1919, venne montato sul bombardiere biplano Avro Aldershot e portato in volo per la prima volta il 15 dicembre 1922. (it)
