One believes you are talking about piston engines- such as a V-l2 or Flat-6 as opposed to Jet or turbine engines. almost all automobiles with the exception of the Rotary-engined Mazda, use piston internal-combustion engines. With aircraft there are piston engined, Turbo-Prop, and straight turbine or turbo-jets. Rockets are a bit out of the pale for common use.
