In 1939, Igor Sikorsky's first successful helicopter was powered by a Lycoming 65-horsepower GO-145 engine |
When Igor Sikorsky climbed into the cockpit of the first successful single main-rotor helicopter in 1938, Lycoming was Igor’s Power of Choice. Today, Lycoming is still there delivering the world’s only FAA-certified helicopter piston engine.
Lycoming has become synonymous with reliability. That’s why so many helicopter pilots count on our engines. It’s also why Lycoming powers all new piston-powered, standard category certified helicopters built today.
Lycoming helicopter engines deliver power, altitude, speed and performance, yet they cost significantly less to purchase and operate than turbines. From flight schools to police departments, every day, in nearly every corner of the globe, Lycoming operators experience reliable engine performance. Whether for law enforcement, electronic news gathering, corporate transport or a wide range of utility operations such as logging, farming, power line maintenance and more, Lycoming engines live up to their legendary reputation.
Get the best performance from your helicopter for years to come. Stay powered by Lycoming with genuine Lycoming parts, Lycoming factory-rebuilds - the only way to obtain a zero-time service engine - or Lycoming factory overhauls.
