The Gnome-Rhône 14N was a 14-cylinder two-row air-cooled radial engine designed and manufactured by Gnome-Rhône just before the start of World War II. A development of the Gnome-Rhône 14K, the 14N was used on several French and even one German aircraft.

Gnome-Rhône 14N

Type	Radial engine
National origin	France
Manufacturer	Gnome et Rhône
First run	1937
Major applications	Bloch MB.150 Messerschmitt Me 323 Amiot 351 Lioré et Olivier LeO 45
Developed from	Gnome-Rhône 14K Mistral Major
Developed into	Gnome-Rhône 14M, Gnome-Rhône 14R

Design and development

The 14K's reliability was poor, so Gnome-Rhône carried out major redesign, using different materials for the pistons and valves, and enlarging the cooling fins to increase surface area by 39%.

The 14N was introduced in 1937 and was quickly installed on several aircraft models. In 1939, minor improvements allowed Gnome-Rhône to increase the compression ratio from 6.1:1 to 6.8:1, which increased power.

The 14N was further developed into the Gnome-Rhône 14R featuring a 2-stage supercharger, but this type was not widely used until after World War II as production of improved engines was restricted by the armistice with Germany.
