Continental Motors Company was an American manufacturer of internal combustion engines.The company produced engines as a supplier to many independent manufacturers of automobiles, tractors, trucks, and stationary equipment (such as pumps, generators, and industrial machinery drives) from the 1900s through the 1960s.
The Continental IO-550 engine is a large family of 9 liter fuel injected six-cylinder, horizontally opposed, air-cooled aircraft engines that were developed for use in light aircraft by Teledyne Continental Motors. The first IO-550 was delivered in 1983 and the type remains in production.
Same as the IO-360-HB except for the modified spider induction system and the use of a TCM 639289A95 fuel injector. The crankshaft has one 6th and one 4½ order damper. [4] IO-360-G 210 hp (157 kW) at 2800 rpm, Minimum fuel grade 100 or 100LL avgas, compression ratio 8.5:1. Uses a TCM 639231A3 fuel injector.
The Continental IO-520 is a six-cylinder, horizontally opposed aircraft engine produced by Teledyne Continental Motors. First run in 1963 as a development of the IO-346 , it has been produced in versions incorporating fuel injection ( IO-520 ), turbo-charging ( TSIO-520 ), and gearing ( GTSIO-520 ).
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.
By the 1960s turbocharging and fuel injection arrived in general aviation and the company's IO-520 series came to dominate the market. [citation needed] In 1965, Ryan Aeronautical acquired a 50% stake in Continental Motors. [10] In 1969, Teledyne Incorporated acquired Continental Motors, which became Teledyne Continental Motors (TCM). [11]
The 130 hp (97 kW) O-240 was a new engine design derived from the six-cylinder Continental O-360 and introduced in 1971. It is generally similar in overall dimensions to the Continental O-200, but with a higher 8.5:1 compression ratio, designed to run on 100/130 avgas.
The 110-horsepower (82 kW) IOL-200, also referred to as the Voyager 200, was the rear engine and—unlike the forward engine, another modified engine, a Continental O-240 —ran throughout the entire nine-day flight save for a four-minute shutdown due to a fuel problem.
