Arrow SNC was an Italian aircraft engine manufacturer based in Piacenza. The company specialized in the design and manufacture of two-stroke engines for ultralight and homebuilt aircraft. The company is no longer in business.[1][2]

The company developed a series of engines that were of a modular design, with the same pistons, cylinders and gearboxes, but using different crankcases. These were assembled into single, twin and four-cylinder engines named for their displacements in cubic centimetres. The single cylinder Arrow 250 has a displacement of 250 cc (15 cu in) and puts out 25 kW (34 hp). From the 250 was developed the Arrow 270 AC, which has a displacement of 250 cc (15 cu in) and puts out 26 kW (35 hp). The twin cylinder Arrow 500 has a displacement of 500 cc (31 cu in) and puts out 48 kW (64 hp), while the four-cylinder Arrow 1000 has a displacement of 1,000 cc (61 cu in) and puts out 75 kW (101 hp).[1][2]

At one time the company did have a North American distributor in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.[1]
