 |
|
I am working with the Lycoming Thunderbolt Experimental Engine Shop to
develop an engine and a firewall forward "Kit" for the RV-10.
They are interested in what the RV-10 builders would want in this "Kit".
Some options are:
IO-540 parallel valve (at) 260 to 300+ bhp
IO-580 angle valve (at) 315 to 340+ bhp
TIO-540 parallel valve (at) 260 to 300+ bhp
TIO-360 angle valve (at) 230 to 260 bhp
or......?
They have all the production Lycoming parts to mix and match plus any after
market parts.
They are also working with Sam James on a Cowl & Cooling Plenum to fit the
engine of choice.
What else would you like to see in a factory supplied "Kit"?
Prop, Cooler, Hoses, Mounts, Filter, Sensors, Engine Monitor, Electronic Ign
and/or FI, etc.....

How about a price less than that of the complete airframe?

I would pretty much want the whole "soup to nuts" FF kit similar to
Van's with the IO-540 parallel valve setup. Would be interested in
seeing the TIO-360 setup as well. Sam James cowl and plenum would be
a big plus!

Given the design limitation of a 260 hp engine for the RV-10, I don't really want to exceed that, so for my money, any new offering from Lycoming's Thunderbolt division would best offer:
lighter weight
better fuel consumption
extended TBO
FADEC
easier starting
less vibration
lower cost
Based on the description of the Thunderbolt division, my guess is that they're only interested in getting more hp out of the existing engines and won't be trying to achieve any of the above traits.
