This list of pages of articles and information
for model aircraft engines and motors are updated on a regular basis as I scan and
post from vintage modeling magazines and generate new material of my own. Although
the terms "engine" and "motor" are used interchangeably these days, the term "motor"
for most of the 20th century referred to an electric-powered source of mechanical
motivation. An "engine" referred to an internal combustion source of mechanical
motivation. This article from the
MIT website provides an even deeper insight on the difference between a motor
and an engine.
