On 4 January 1921, the Allison Experimental Company changed its name to the Allison Engineering Company. By 1924, the Army Air Service (AAS) Power Plant Section at McCook Field, Ohio had designed a large 24-cylinder engine in an “X” layout. They asked Allison to refine their design and construct a prototype. The engine was given the AAS serial number 25-521 and also carried the Allison serial number 1.

The X-4520 had four banks of six air-cooled cylinders. The banks were arranged at 90 degree intervals around a common crankshaft housed in an aluminum, barrel-type crankcase. The cylinders had a 5.75 in (146 mm) bore, 7.25 in stroke (184 mm), and 4.9 to 1 compression ratio. Total displacement was 4,518 cu in (74 L). Each cylinder had two valves, and the exhaust valve was sodium cooled. The valves for each cylinder bank were actuated by a single overhead camshaft. At the front of each camshaft was a distributor that fired the two spark plugs per each cylinder for that bank. Each camshaft was driven by the crankshaft via a vertical shaft at the front of the engine.
