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 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.
The Lycoming R-680 is a nine-cylinder air-cooled radial engine, the first aero engine produced by Lycoming. The engine was produced in two types, the E and B series; both are essentially the same. The B4E was available in a trainer version with a front exhaust collector "ring" for use without cylinder air baffles.
The Lycoming IO-720 engine is a large displacement, horizontally opposed, eight-cylinder aircraft engine featuring four cylinders per side, manufactured by Lycoming Engines. [1] There is no carbureted version of the engine, which would have been designated O-720 and therefore the base model is the IO-720. The IO-720 is the only flat-eight ...
This increased the compression to 8.5:1 and boosted power output to 170 hp (127 kW) over the O-320's 150 hp (112 kW). The engine was later used in a number of airplanes and helicopters and also in amateur-built aircraft designs. [1] The O-340 family of engines covers a range from 160 hp (119 kW) to 170 hp (127 kW).
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 hp (110 and 170 kW), with the basic O-360 producing 180 hp (130 kW).
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.
Engine model, with provisions for O-435-C accessories carburetor, producing 175 hp (130 kW) at 2300 rpm, with a compression ratio of 6.25:1, a dry weight of 368 lb (167 kg) and fitted with a Marvel MA-4SPA carburetor. Type certified on January 2, 1948. [1] O-435-K Engine model that incorporates a GO-435-C2 accessory case and crankcase.
