The Lycoming XR-7755 was the largest piston aircraft engine ever built in the United States, [Note 1] with 36 cylinders totaling about 7,750 in 3 (127 L) of displacement and a power output of 5,000 horsepower (3,700 kilowatts). It was originally intended to be used in the "European bomber" that eventually emerged as the Convair B-36. Only two ...
The company has built more than 325,000 piston aircraft engines and powers more than half the world's general aviation fleet, both rotary and fixed wing. [1] Lycoming has been a principal pioneer of turbine engines for medium and large helicopters, and has also produced engines for small jetliners and business jets. [2] [3] [4]

For comparison, some of the earliest GE90 engines aboard Boeing 777s kicked out 'just' 74,000 pounds. GE test-flies the world's largest jet engine Skip to main content
It is one of three engines for the 777-200 and -200ER, and the exclusive engine of the -200LR, -300ER, and 777F. It was the largest jet engine, [3] until being surpassed in January 2020 by its successor, the 110,000 lbf (490 kN) GE9X, which has a larger fan diameter by 6 inches (15 cm). However, the GE90-115B, the most recent variant of the ...
