English term or phrase: piston

This is from a marketing brochure for a small airplane (4 seater):

The XXXX’s rich blend of safety and pure adrenaline have made it the finest all-around four-place piston.

I am not sure what to make of the term "piston" here. Any plane experts out there. Is it a snazzy term for "plane"???

Thanks

Kolben-Einmot

Explanation:
This is the term our local Piper agent uses (I've done a few translations for him).
Einmot = jargon for einmotorig
If the target group for your brochure is pilots, I guess one could use the term.

As opposed to the Turbinen-Einmot ;-)
