Lycoming's LTS 101 Engine Design

This paper shows how the LTS 101 engine-the product of an extensive design and development program-resulted in a powerplant in the 600 shp class. It also gives all the low-cost features contributing to this competitive class.

Although the LTS 101 engine was originally designed and considered for helicopter applications, its primary objective was for a low-cost industrial engine that would also comply with aircraft standards. Through the integration of low-cost design concepts, a core engine design which offers remarkable installation flexibility has been created.
