Companion cylinders are typically found in certain types of multi-cylinder engines, particularly in V-type configurations where pairs of cylinders work together to balance the engine's operation. For example, in a V8 engine, the companion cylinders are those that are 90 degrees apart in the firing order, such as the first and fifth cylinders or the second and sixth. This arrangement helps to reduce vibrations and improve the engine's smoothness. Additionally, some flat or opposed engines, like the Subaru Boxer engine, also utilize companion cylinders for similar balancing benefits.

What is meant by cylinder row?
Cylinders on piston engines are arranged in rows. V or flat engines have two rows of cylinders.
How many cylinders of jet engines?
None. Jet engines don't have cylinders. While Jet engines don't have cylinders they have combustors (which can also be called combustion chambers). Due to turbulence and other problems early jet engines had multiple small combustors, most modern jet engines have only one large combustor as it is simpler to build. some jets have combustion 'cans' which are cylinders but have no moving parts within

How many cylinders does an airoplane have?
The number of cylinders in an airplane engine can vary widely depending on the type of aircraft and its engine design. Small general aviation aircraft often use piston engines with 4 to 6 cylinders, while larger aircraft may have engines with more than 12 cylinders, particularly in radial configurations. Jet engines, on the other hand, typically do not have cylinders as they operate on a different principle, using turbine technology instead.

NASCAR engines have been known to have 6 cylinders, but most prefer to run V8s.
