CubCrafters newly certified engine is a modern upgrade of a well-proven design that has been in use around the world for over 50 years. The CC340 engine is certified to ASTM 2339 standards for Light Sport Aircraft. Working closely with ECI, the CC340 engine uses electronic ignition and high compression pistons to maximize power and economy. The engine weighs less than 250 Lbs, and is rated at 180 HP for take-off and climb, and 80 HP for continuous power settings. This allows for a 2,400 hour TBO, and fuel consumption of as little as 5 gallons per hour at cruise power settings.

Our cooling plenum seals against the back side of the cowl inlets to force air exactly where it is needed.  Light-weight silicon seals are co-cured with the composite plenum.

The CC340 engine is installed as part of a firewall-forward system.   Every component has been redesigned to maximize usefulness with minimizing weight as one of the highest goals.  The complete exhaust system weighs 6.2 Lbs, or roughly half that of other 4-into-1 systems on the market.  The alternator mount is new, and because it is closer to the center of the crankshaft, the belt is shorter (and lighter) than in any other system we know of.

The cooling plenum ducts cold pressurized air to the oil cooler, and provides a mount for the oil cooler that simplifies the installation.  Several pounds and several pieces are eliminated... with great results!

Look Ma!  No Mags!... or gears to drive them...  If it isn't needed, it isn't there!   Carb airbox weighs just 11 Oz.
