[2] Rocket Racer The Mark-I X-Racer, a rocketplane design for the Rocket Racing League built on a Velocity SE airframe. It was built by XCOR Aerospace with an XCOR XR-4K14 1,500 lbf (6,700 N) thrust rocket engine fuelled by LOX and kerosene. [4] This rocket-powered aircraft flew several demonstration flights at the 2008 EAA AirVenture Oshkosh ...
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 ...
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.)
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]
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 ...
Producing between 230 and 350 horsepower (170 and 260 kW) [1] these engines are installed in a large variety of aircraft. [2] The main competitors are the Continental IO-520 and IO-550 series. An AEIO version was developed for high-performance competition aerobatics aircraft. Starting at 260 hp (190 kW) the power was eventually increased to 300 ...
The engine has a displacement of 541.5 cubic inches (8.87 litres) and produces a maximum of 450 hp (336 kW) in its TIGO-541 version. The cylinders have air-cooled heads. [1] [2] The first TIO-541-A1A was type certified on 23 February 1965 on the regulatory basis of CAR 13 effective 15 June 1956 as amended to 13-1 through 13-4. [1]
