From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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

TheLycoming O-290 is adual-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 aground power unit.
