The IO-360-AF engine family offers a maximum
power output of 195 horsepower at 2800 RPM, a
2,200 hour Time Between Overhaul (TBO) and is
backed by Continental’s industry leading
warranty and service support. Flight Design will
use the IO-360-AF engine de-rated to 180
horsepower as required for the C4, producing
power at a reduced 2550 RPM, resulting in
quieter operation.
“Our engineering team has worked diligently to
move the IO-360-AF from opportunity to reality;
and we are very excited to have it certified,
meeting the needs of our customers,” stated
Rhett Ross, Vice President, AVIC International
and Director, Continental Motors Group. “The
IO-360-AF is a nice addition to our fuels
capabilities and further demonstrates our
ongoing commitment to advancing technology”
continued Ross.
“We are very pleased with the close cooperation
we have received from Continental Motors on the
C4 project,” said Matthias Betsch, CEO, Flight
Design GmbH. The IO-360-AF Type Certification
brings us another step closer to realizing our
vision for the C4 light-sport aircraft”,
continued Betsch. |
