Sir John Carden established this company in 1935 as the Flying Flea craze swept Great Britain, seeing a need for a cheap low powered propulsion unit for ultralight aircraft. The engine was an adaption of the well proven and reliable Ford 10 Model C motor car engine. The engine was reversed and a thrust bearing fitted to what was now the front of the engine. The chain drive was replaced by lightweight fibre gears, an 'Elektron' aluminium alloy sump fitted and dual ignition if requested. There were two cylinder head varients, one with an 'L' shape, and a low profile flat head which required a separate header tank. This later design was adapted for the elegant Chilton D.W.1 Monoplane of 1936. Following the death of Sir John in an air accident in December 1935, the company was taken over by Carden-Baynes Aircraft Ltd, and later sold to Chilton Aircraft Ltd, Chilton-Foliat,near Hungerford, Berkshire. Aircraft that have used the engine are: Carden-Baynes Bee, Broughton-Blayney Brawney, B.A.C.
