72-10-00 ENGINE
The engine installed is a Textron-Lycoming air cooled,
direct drive, fuel injection, horizontally opposed four-
cylinder engine with inverted oil system. The rated power
at Take Off is 200 HP at 2700 RPM. The maximum
continuous RPM is 2500 (185 HP).
The engine specification is Textron-Lycoming AEIO-360-
A1E.
The following accessories are included in the powerplant
installation:
Fuel injector: Bendix
Magnetos: Slick
Alternator: Electrosystems (Prestolite)
Starterm (Standard): Lycoming
Fuel pump: Gates Lear
Shielded ingnition system
Propellor governor: Woodward
The engine is operated by the following manual controls:
Throttle control
RPM control
Fuel mixture control
The propeller governor monitors the RPM automatically
and prevents overspeeding. If oil pressure is lost, the
propeller is automatically adjusted to coarse pitch to pre-
vent overspeeding.
The engine is air cooled. Baffles are provided to build up a
pressure and force the air through the cylinder fins. The
cooling air flow is dependent on engine speed and dynamic
air pressure.
The engine is lubricated by means of an engine driven oil
pump. For acrobatic maneuvers, lubrication is assured via
a CHRISTEN 801 Inverted Oil System (refer to Chapter
79).
The complete power plant is attached to the fuselage
structure using 4 mounting points and rubber vibration
absorbers.
