One button ignition brings the driving experience to your aircraft. Whether you're taking off in a hot or cold climate, the iE2 engine will start reliably at the push of a button.

Reduced pilot workload through advanced computer technology

Cruise at a set RPM and just one lever will correct your air and fuel mixture. Our single-lever controls allow you to electronically manage your mixture controls and propeller controls so you can focus on what's ahead. iE2 engines use optimized automatic fuel tilt to improve fuel efficiency during takeoff, climb and cruise.

Electronic engine control for smooth flight

This electronically controlled engine system provides a truly unique flight experience. iE2 engines use advanced computer logic, so engine parameters have double or triple redundancy. You can get the performance you want without the weight and cost of additional sensors.

FAQ

Q:What is the lycoming IE2 piston engine?

A:The iE2 brings the traditional aircraft piston engine into the 21st Century with computer controlled electronic fuel injection, electronic ignition, and electronic engine self-protection. Power management is simple with one lever controlling the percentage of power desired, prop pitch, and fuel flow. The engine will always determine the most efficient combination of fuel mixture, ignition timing, turbo boost and propeller RPM for the flight condition you request. It will do that while determining optimum settings without hazardous fuel mixtures or ignition timing, and will avoid overheating or detonation without pilot intervention or the need to monitor the factors that cause these conditions.

Q:Are piston engines similar to early aircraft engines?

A:It's amazing that well over 100 years later, light airplanes are still being powered by reciprocating piston engines with aluminum crankcases, gravity-fed fuel systems, in-line cylinders, magnetos and even water cooling in some designs. Still, a modern piston engine produced today bears no more resemblance to early aircraft engines than a brand-new Cirrus SR22 does to the Wrights' first pusher biplanes. And even though little is different in the certification basis of, say, a 1970s piston aircraft engine and one built today, as we've hinted at, plenty has changed — and all of it for the better.
