O-290 | |
---|---|
Type | Piston aircraft engine |
National origin | United States |
Manufacturer | Lycoming Engines |
First run | 1939 |
Major applications | Taylorcraft Auster IV Taylorcraft Auster V Ground Power Unit |
Produced | 1942–1975 out of production |
Developed into | Lycoming O-435 |
The Lycoming O-290 is a dual ignition, four-cylinder, air-cooled, horizontally opposed aircraft engine. It was first run in 1939, and entered production three years later.
A common variant of the type is the O-290-G, a single ignition model which was designed to drive a generator as part of a ground power unit.
