The Franklin Engine Company was an American manufacturer of aircraft engines. Their designs were used primarily in the civilian market, both in fixed wing and helicopter designs. They were briefly directly towards automobile engines as part of the Tucker Car Corporation, returning to aviation when that company failed. The company was later purchased by the Government of Poland.
