OLK 100
Aircraft piston engines are remarkable pieces of engineering. They play a very important role in wide range of strategic civilian and military applications. OLK Engines has developed a 4 cylinder air-cooled aircraft engine with an output of 100HP. All components were designed using the best technologies available.
Magnesium parts totalize about 15% of the total engine weight and the most significant components are: nitride 4340 forged steel crankshaft, gravity cast aluminum cylinder heads, high performance camshaft, special light weight oil pump and electronic ignition system. Several other features were designed to make the engine easier to install and maintain than most similar engines in the market.
Engines Development Tests
The performance tests to verify the rated power output were done at Pinnacle Aircraft Engines. Pinnacle is a FAA-US Federal Aviation Administration certified engine company with a modern, well calibrated aircraft engine test cell. Pinnacle is located near Mobile Alabama and provides comprehensive overhaul facilities to airlines and individual operators. During the performance tests the engine delivered 104 HP at rated engine speed (power corrected to sea level standard day).
Engines Development Tests
In addition to the tests performed in the USA, more than 1000 hours of development tests were performed in Brazil.
The OLK 100 engine has already flown on test aircraft in Brazil.
