The Nakajima Sakae ("Prosperity") was an air-cooled 14-cylinder double-row radial engine with a single-speed supercharger and a bore of 130mm and stroke of 150mm. It was derived from the Gnome-Rhone engine produced under license in the 1930s. It could run reliably on a very lean fuel mixture on extended flights, which helped give the A6M "Zero" its impressive range. Kawasaki also produced the engine under license.
