The ECi O-320 is part of a family of normally aspirated, air-cooled, four-cylinder, direct-drive engines developed for certified and experimental aircraft. Its cylinders are arranged in horizontally opposed configuration and a displacement of 320 cubic inches (5.24 L). It is based on the Lycoming O-320 engine with ECi cylinder assemblies. [1] [2]
As a kit aircraft, the VK-30 is a relatively obscure design with few completed aircraft flying. Its most important legacy is that the work done on developing and marketing the aircraft convinced the designers, the Klapmeier brothers , that the best way to proceed in the future was with a more conventional layout and with a certified production ...
The 6 cylinder engines can power larger experimental and kit-planes (non-certified planes) that are typically powered by Lycoming and Lycoming clones in the O320-O360 range. [6] The ULPower engines are modular. They all have the same bore of 105.6 mm. The stroke is either 74 or 100 mm, which makes the 260 and 350 series of engines.
The aircraft is amateur-built and not type-certified. Over 4500 kits have been delivered in 42 countries. [1] A derivative of the Avid Flyer, [3] the Kitfox was an early kit plane to feature quickly-folding wings that greatly simplify carriage and storage. [4] The appeal of the aircraft was that it could be built in a two-car garage.
Producing 360 hp (268 kW), its design dates from the 1940s (Kotelnikov 2005), and is itself a development of the Ivchenko AI-14 engine. The engine has been used extensively by the Yakovlev and Sukhoi Design Bureaus. The M14P is also used in some experimental aircraft and kit designs such as the Murphy Moose, Radial Rocket, Pitts Model 12, and ...
In order to make the plane more practical for the average owner, the wings could be folded and the aircraft towed behind a car, allowing it to be stored at home in a garage and towed to the airport. The kit, including a rebuilt 65 hp engine, would list for US$2,500. Versions with the more powerful O-235 were also offered, listed at $4,200.
