The Lycoming IO-580 engine is a horizontally opposed, six-cylinder aircraft engine featuring three cylinders per side, manufactured by Lycoming Engines. [1] There is no carburetted version of the engine, which would have been designated O-580 and therefore the base model is the IO-580. [2] This engine family competes with the Continental IO-550 ...
This one-cylinder engine was designated "Hyper No. 2", and became the test bed for developing the cylinders that would become the Continental O-1430 ("O" for "opposed") engine. It would require a ten-year development period which changed the layout to first an upright V-12 engine and later, an inverted V-12 engine, before becoming reliable ...
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 Continental IO-370 engine is a family of fuel injected four-cylinder, horizontally opposed, air-cooled aircraft engines that were developed for use in light aircraft by Continental Aerospace Technologies. There is no carbureted version of this engine, which would have been designation O-370, therefore the base model is the IO-370. [1]

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 IO-580, [5] the cylinder barrels of both have a 5.318 bore and 4.375 stroke dimension.)
Version with 290 hp (216 kW) Lycoming IO-540 or Lycoming TIO-540. [4] Built by Aero Commander (as the Quail Commander). B-1 Enlarged A-9 with a 400 hp (298 kW) Lycoming IO-720-A1A engine and 42 ft 8 in (13.00 m) wingspan. First flight January 15, 1966. [5] Built by IMCO and Aero Commander (as the Snipe Commander). 36 built. [6] AAMSA A9B
All engines have an additional prefix preceding the 480 to indicate the specific configuration of the engine. Although the series is known as the "O-480", there are only geared engines in the series. [2] [3] There are also numerous engine suffixes, denoting different accessories such as different manufacturers' carburetors, or different ...
