Air-cooled engines are used in aircraft engine control and other air-cooled engines as in cars and air-cooled motorcycles. [1] A cylinder from an air-cooled aviation engine, a Continental C85. Notice the rows of fins on both the steel cylinder barrel and the aluminum cylinder head. The fins provide additional surface area for air to pass over ...
This one-cylinder engine was designated "Hyper No. 2", and became the test bed for developing the cylinders that would become the Continental O-1430 ("O" for "opposed") engine. It would require a ten-year development period which changed the layout to first an upright V-12 engine and later, an inverted V-12 engine, before becoming reliable ...
The Lycoming IO-580 engine is a horizontally opposed, six-cylinder aircraft engine featuring three cylinders per side, manufactured by Lycoming Engines. [1] There is no carburetted version of the engine, which would have been designated O-580 and therefore the base model is the IO-580. [2] This engine family competes with the Continental IO-550 ...
The IO-390 was developed from the similar IO-360 engine, by using cylinders from the IO-580 [citation needed] to increase the O-360's cylinder bore. (Although the IO-390 cylinder assembly [4] is not the same part number as the IO-580, [5] the cylinder barrels of both have a 5.318 bore and 4.375 stroke dimension.)
The Lycoming TIO-541 engine is a turbocharged, fuel-injected, horizontally opposed, six-cylinder aircraft engine featuring three cylinders per side, manufactured by Lycoming Engines. [1] [2] The TIO-541 family of engines includes the TIGO-541 turbocharged, fuel-injected, geared, horizontally opposed engine. [2] There is no carburetted, non ...
The Continental IO-520 is a six-cylinder, horizontally opposed aircraft engine produced by Teledyne Continental Motors. First run in 1963 as a development of the IO-346 , it has been produced in versions incorporating fuel injection ( IO-520 ), turbo-charging ( TSIO-520 ), and gearing ( GTSIO-520 ).
The Continental IO-550 engine is a large family of 9 liter fuel injected six-cylinder, horizontally opposed, air-cooled aircraft engines that were developed for use in light aircraft by Teledyne Continental Motors. The first IO-550 was delivered in 1983 and the type remains in production.
All engines have an additional prefix preceding the 480 to indicate the specific configuration of the engine. Although the series is known as the "O-480", there are only geared engines in the series. [2] [3] There are also numerous engine suffixes, denoting different accessories such as different manufacturers' carburetors, or different ...
