Whisper or M system 6-cyl engine produces 130 hp at 2000 rpm; quietness of operation is achieved by new combustion method in which fuel is injected in two solid streams directly onto combustion chamber walls so that it will spread over about half of area, small portion being projected into open chamber to serve as combustion starter or kindling.
