Vans recomends the Lycoming 320 & 360 engines because they work so well. This is an undisputed and true fact. The knowledegable knows you can break any thing when every thing is done right. The two main piston aircraft builders are working on the next generation of piston aircraft engines. The flat four engine is the choice for these two. A low fuel consumption is very desireable. The use of petroleum for fuel will be obsolete in the near future. The alternative is a fuel made from plant oil. So considering this the ideal engine would be a flat four, same weight and size of the Lycoming, and capable of burning plant oil for fuel.
