The Axelson Aircraft Engine Company was a manufacturer of aircraft engines based in Los Angeles in the late 1920s.[1] [2]
Their engines were originally known as "FLOCO", because the manufacturer was originally Frank L. Odenbreidt Co. Their products included the 115 hp Axelson A-7-R[3] and 150 hp Axelson B.[4] Axelson engines were used to power the Swallow F28-AX, among other contemporary aircraft.
