Type 6-cyl. inverted air-cooled inline piston aircraft engine
National origin France
Manufacturer Construction Mécanique du Béarn (CMB)

Design and development edit

The Béarn 6 suffered from lack of development and was not a commercial success, most production engines had been removed from service by 1950 due to poor reliability.[citation needed]
