The Van's Aircraft RV-8 homebuilt aircraft is often fitted with a 200 hp IO-360 engine. The largest engine that is normally fitted to the Thorp T-18 homebuilt aircraft is the 200 hp IO-360 engine. IO-360-A1A 200 hp (149 kW) at 2700 rpm, Minimum fuel grade 100 or 100LL avgas, compression ratio 8.70:1.
In the 1930s, Lycoming made a number of attempts to develop successful high-power aircraft engines. The 1 200 hp (895 kW) O-1230 was Lycoming's attempt to produce an engine based on the United States Army Air Corps hyper engine concept, and used a variety of features to produce nearly 1 hp/ in 3 (46 kW/L) of engine displacement .
The IO-390 family of engines, which Lycoming refers to as the IO-390-X, produce 200 hp (149 kW) to 215 hp (160 kW). 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 ...
1955–present. Developed into. Lycoming IO-390. Lycoming O-540. Lycoming IO-720. The Lycoming O-360 is a family of four-cylinder, direct-drive, horizontally opposed, air-cooled, piston aircraft engines. Engines in the O-360 series produce between 145 and 225 horsepower (109 to 168 kW), with the basic O-360 producing 180 horsepower. [1]
Lycoming O-435. The Lycoming O-290 is a dual ignition, four-cylinder, air-cooled, horizontally opposed aircraft engine. It was first run in 1939, and entered production three years later. A common variant of the type is the O-290-G, a single ignition model which was designed to drive a generator as part of a ground power unit.
The Lycoming O-320 is a large family of naturally aspirated, 320 cu in (5.2 L) air-cooled, horizontally-opposed four-cylinder, direct-drive engines produced by Lycoming Engines. Introduced in 1953, it is commonly used on light aircraft such as the Cessna 172 and Piper Cherokee , and remains in production as of 2024.
The Lycoming O-235 is a family of four-cylinder, air-cooled, horizontally opposed, piston aircraft engines that produce 100 to 135 hp (75 to 101 kW), derived from the earlier O-233 engine. [ 1 ] [ 2 ]
In 1970 a 200 hp (149 kW) fuel injected Lycoming IO-360 engine was fitted and the resulting aircraft was named the Buccaneer. This model replaced both the LA-4 and Seaplane in production and has a higher cruise speed as well as 200 lb (91 kg) increased gross weight.
