DESCRIPTIVE DATA

ENGINES

 

The Lancair IV can be fitted with the following 

engines:

 

Continental TSIO-550B

 

Continental IO-550G

 

Although other engines are available, we feel 

these engines will give you the best performance and 

are the latest designs from Continental.  Aircraft perfor

-

mance will of course vary with the engine selection.

PROPELLERS

 

The Lancair IV uses a MT , 76”, 3 bladed con

-

stant speed propeller. Propeller governors are made by 

McCauley,  Lancair PN. D20309-39.

Lancair is constantly testing other propellers that may 

improve performance and/or serviceability, we will 

publish these findings when they are available.

NOTE

 

Other propellers which are approved are 

listed by Lancair and its dealers or are approved by 

Supplemental Type Certificates.
