| The Higgs engine is a diesel, 2-stroke, directly derived from the Lycoming O-360.
Posted by André Teissier duCros on 18 November, 2015 The Higgs engine is a converted Lycoming 360 engine. It is a 2 stroke jet burning engine. Higgs is validating the technology at the moment. Previous experience was acquired with a 35 c. i. (600 c. c.) V4 diesel, with which Higgs demonstrated on test bench a power of 41kW (56 HP) on Jet fuel, while the engine weight was 17.55kg (38.6 Lbs.) which if confirmed on a demo plane will be remarkable, especially on such a small engine. New concept V type engines have gone through the concept stage and Higgs is now busy with detail drawings, planning to start cutting metal in Feb 2016. The future V4 engine is a compact package of 877mm length, 618 width and 627mm tall (from bottom of sump to the top of the air-box). pour plus http://www.dieselair.com/news/2015/11/18/the-higgs-engine-is-a-diesel-2-stroke-directly-derived-from-the-lycoming-o-360/ |
