Midwest LSA Expo Mt. Vernon Airport, September 10 - 12.

Viking Aircraft Engine, Viking 3 cylinder aircraft engine conversion

At EAA Airventure Viking Aircraft Engines introduced their new Viking 90 engine. The new automotive aircraft engine conversion uses a Mitsubishi engine from the Mitsubishi Mirage, it makes 90HP and weighs only 10lbs more than the Rotax 912. 

It is classified as a 1.2L MIVEC DOHC 12-valve 3-cylinder engine. The factory engine is 74 hp at 6000 rpm, with a 74 ft-lb torque-band from 3000-5000 rpm. 

This engine is quoted as 90 hp at 6,000 rpm (20% more than the factory) and 74 ft-lbs at 4000 rpm.

It has not really hit the aviation community yet how many advantages a Direct Injected Engine has. 

It is a perfect match to high output, low fuel burn, high compression, advanced ignition timing, internal cylinder cooling of engine parts and a high threshold for detonation. 

The discussion is no longer about old or new technology, air or liquid cooled, car engine or lookalike aircraft engine with internal car parts, fuel injection or carburetor, etc. It is now about Direct Injection or not.

It is a choice you can only make by understanding the benefits.
