The 2si 460 is a family of in-line twin-cylinder, two-stroke, single ignition, aircraft engines that were designed for ultralight aircraft.[1]
The basic engine was originally designed and produced by JLO of Germany and was later acquired by the AMW Cuyuna Engine Company of Beaufort, South Carolina and marketed under the Cuyuna brand name. Later the engine was marketed by Cuyuna under the Two Stroke International (2si) brand. Cuyuna no longer markets engines for aircraft use although the 460 is still in production as a diesel/multifuel or gasoline industrial, marine and sport vehicle engine.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]

The aircraft version was offered with cog belt drive or a gearbox reduction system. Starting is electric starter or recoil starter.[1]
