(3) Based on Design
Reciprocating Engine: is typically a heat engine that uses one or more reciprocating pistons to
convert pressure inside the cylinder into a rotating motion. Cylinders may be
aligned in line (or straight), in a V configuration, horizontally opposite each other,
or radially around the crankshaft.
Rotary Engine: is a type of IC piston engine used in some early aircraft, motorcycles, and cars. Virtually
the whole engine rotates about a fixed crankshaft. It also includes other engines
described as "rotary", such as Wankel engine , Turbine … etc.

(4) Based on Charging Method
Naturally Aspirated (NA) Engine: is an IC engine in which air intake depends solely on atmospheric
pressure and does not have forced induction through a turbocharger or
a supercharger.
Supercharged and Turbocharged is a type of IC engine that supercharged (admitting pre-compressed
Engine: fresh mixture) mechanically, and turbocharged (admitting fresh mixture
compressed in a compressor driven by an exhaust turbine)
Crankcase Compressed Engine: is a type of IC engine that compressed the mixture charge in
a sealed crankcase by the descending piston before passing to
the combustion chamber.
