The Lycoming O-360 is a family of four-cylinder, direct-drive, horizontally opposed, air-cooled, piston aircraft engines. Engines in the O-360 series produce between 145 and 225 hp (110 and 170 kW), with the basic O-360 producing 180 hp (130 kW).
O-360-B1A 168 hp (125 kW) at 2700 rpm, Minimum fuel grade 80/87 avgas, compression ratio 7.20:1. Same as the A1A except that it has a lower compression ratio and power rating. [1] O-360-B1B 168 hp (125 kW) at 2700 rpm, Minimum fuel grade 80/87 avgas, compression ratio 7.20:1. Same as the B1A except has Bendix 200 series magnetos. [1] O-360-B2A
The 200 was quickly replaced by the Lancair 235, equipped with the slightly more powerful Lycoming O-235. Re-engined versions quickly followed; the Lancair 320 with the 150 hp Lycoming O-320, and the Lancair 360 with the 180 hp Lycoming O-360. A new tail was introduced for the later models in order to address stability problems at low speeds ...
Replacing the prototype's truss tailboom with a simple aluminum tube as the tailboom, the 269A came with the option for several models of Lycoming O-360 engines: the carbureted O-360-C2D, restricted to 165 hp (123 kW) in the 269A, or the carbureted HO-360-B1A/B1B or fuel-injected HIO-360-B1A/B1B, all rated for 180 hp (134 kW) in the 269A.
Standard engines available are the 180 hp (134 kW) Lycoming O-360-C4P or O-360-C1G and the 180 hp (134 kW) Superior O-360-A3A2 four-stroke powerplants. [1] [3] The aircraft can be flown on wheels, tundra tires, skis or amphibious floats. Belly pods are available to increase cargo and fuel capacity. [1]
Recognizing that the aircraft was underpowered, Cessna introduced the 177A in 1969. The revision featured a 180 hp (135 kW) four-cylinder Lycoming O-360, moving the design's price and role somewhere between that of the 172 and 182. [2] The additional power improved cruise speed by 11 knots (20 km/h). [1] [8] Cessna 177B Cardinal
The construction time from the factory-supplied standard kit is estimated at 1250 hours to complete and the quick-build kit at 750 hours. In 2011 the kit cost US$28,995, while finishing a completed aircraft was estimated to cost between US$45,000 to $99,000, depending on options, engine and avionics installed. In December 2011 there were 50 ...
The Cabri is powered by a single 180 hp (134 kW) Lycoming O-360 piston engine, which has been rated to 145 hp (108 kW) max continuous power and 160 hp (119 kW) 5-minute power. [30] [31] [32] The engine incorporates a solid-state electronic ignition system which protects against over-speed upon startup and has greater reliability.
