The Franklin O-425 (company designation 6AG/6V6) was an American air-cooled aircraft engine that first ran in the mid-1940s. The engine was of six-cylinder, horizontally-opposed layout and displaced 425 cu in (7 L). The power output was between 240 hp (179 kW) and 285 hp (213 kW) depending on variant. The O-405-13 (6V6-300-D16FT) of 1955 was a vertically mounted, turbocharged and fan cooled version for helicopters.
