As aircraft have changed, so has engine design. Some of the first engines required only basic tools to service and were limited in performance. Today, newer engines have become more powerful and require sophisticated tools and training to maintain and service these engines. The Atlantic Canada Aviation Museum has a large display of engines that covers a fair cross section of aviation history. These pages are still under construction. Some of the engines shown here may have only a photograph of the engine. Additionally, this is not a complete list of ACAM's engine collection.
