New Lycoming

[jacksel]

I saw something a few years ago about a new 4 cylinder experimental Lycoming was working on. It had a fuel control which allowed it to operate on a variety of fuels, digital engine control and self-powered electronic ignition. I haven't seen anything on it since. Are they still working on this new engine?

Was it the new 233 LSA engine?

Read all about it here.

The engine was at OSH '09 in an aircraft flown it...I've forgotten what the airplane was, perhaps a Lancair.

It's in the new Lancair Evolution.

Here is some more information on the IO-233.

It will be very competitive with the Rotax 912, and NO carburetors!

I believe that's the one. The iE2. Looks like all they have right now is a 6-cylinder. Anyone know if anyone is putting one on an RV?
