The engine later inspired the A-50 and subsequent engines.〔〔〔Christy, Joe: ''Engines for Homebuilt Aircraft & Ultralights'', pages 8-9. TAB Books, 1983. ISBN 0-8306-2347-7〕
The A40 featured single ignition until the A-40-5 version, which introduced dual ignition. All engines in this family have a 5.2:1 compression ratio and were designed to run on fuel with a minimum octane rating of 73.〔〔
