Continental IO-360

The Continental IO-360 is a family of fuel-injected air-cooled, horizontally opposed six-cylinder aircraft engines manufactured by Continental Motors in the United States of America, now part of AVIC International since 2010.

[1][2] The engine is available in both naturally aspirated, fuel injected IO-360 models and turbocharged TSIO-360 versions.

[3] There was no carbureted version of this engine, which would have been designation O-360, therefore the base model is the IO-360.

[4][5] The IO-360 was first certified by the Federal Aviation Administration on 15 May 1962 to the CAR 13 certification standard, effective June 15, 1956, as amended by 13-1 thru 13–3.

[4] The turbocharged TSIO-360 series was first certified on 11 October 1966 to the Federal Aviation Regulations Part 33 standard effective February 1, 1965, as amended by 33–1.
