Crossplane: Straight-twin cranks, Crossplane V8 crankshaft & Inline-four crossplane crankshaft

The crossplane or cross-plane is a crankshaft design for piston engines with a 90° angle (phase in crank rotation) between the crank throws. The crossplane crankshaft is the most popular configuration used in V8 road cars.[citation needed]
