A clean-sheet design, the only shared components between the Gen III engines and the first two generations of the Chevrolet small-block engine are the connecting rod bearings and valve lifters. [1] However, the Gen III and Gen IV engines were designed with modularity in mind, and several engines of the two generations share a large number of ...
An example of high-end homebuilt design is Lancair, which has developed a number of high-performance kits. The most powerful is the Lancair Propjet, a four-place kit with cabin pressurization and a turboprop engine, cruising at 24,000 feet (7,300 m) and 370 knots (425 mph, 685 km/h). Although aircraft such as this are considered "home-built ...
The Honeywell HTS900 is an American turboshaft engine produced by Honeywell Aerospace.A growth version of the LTS101 which it is designed to replace, [1] the HTS900 is in the 1,000 shp (745 kW) class.
In addition to these issues and the obvious overlap in production costs, the cost of certifying so many different engines for tightening worldwide emissions regulations threatened to become very costly. Thus, by the early 1980s, GM had consolidated its powertrain engineering efforts into a few distinct lines.
A development of the kit-built Epic LT, the E1000 aircraft features a cantilever low-wing, a 6.5 psi pressurized cabin with an airstair door just ahead of the rear seats, retractable tricycle landing gear and a single 1,825 hp (1,361 kW) Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6-67A turboprop aircraft engine, de-rated to 1,200 hp (895 kW) engine in tractor configuration.
It was a naturally aspirated 12V149 rated at about 600 hp (447 kW) soon followed by a naturally aspirated 16V149 rated at about 1,000 hp (746 kW). As manufacturers in the marine, construction, mining, and many other industries required more power output, Detroit added turbocharging and intercooling to the engine.
Being nearly identical, it too has the distinctive odd-sided hexagonal shape. These engines can be fitted in rear wheel drive vehicles with the right bellhousing and are used in hot rods, kit cars, sand rails and late model engine swaps. All Cadillac Northstar V8s; Oldsmobile Aurora L47 V8; GM 3.5L LX5 "Short Star" V6
Following the bankruptcy filing, Epic went up for sale. In an auction on 26 March 2010, the state-owned China Aviation Industry General Aircraft was the highest bidder with a US$4.3 million offer, beating out a bid by the LT Builders Group, a group of seven aircraft owners with incomplete aircraft in the plant. The hearing judge admonished the ...
