The invention relates to a small two-stroke four-cylinder horizontally-opposed aero-engine compact and simple in structure, high in mechanical strength, wide in environment applicability, small in weight, high in efficiency and reliably, good in manufacturability and high in adaptability. According to the small two-stroke four-cylinder horizontally-opposed aero-engine, the manufacturing and debugging difficulty of an air door control system is simplified, the lubrication condition of a two-stroke engine crankshaft mechanism is effectively improved, and the problem about cooling during runningof a crank connecting rod motion pair is solved. The small two-stroke four-cylinder horizontally-opposed aero-engine meets the aviation high-strength flight requirement through a crankshaft, a connecting rod, a piston, a cylinder and a crankshaft box structure, and continuous cruising running for 10 h can be achieved at the altitude of 3,500 m or above under the work condition of 5,000 r/min.
