The Lycoming HIO-360-F1AD four cylinder, fuel injected, turbocharged piston engine provides an extremely lightweight and reliable 225 continuous horsepower. The maximum power is reached thanks to the turbo compressor made by Kelly Aerospace.
The engine exhaust exits out the left side of the helicopter. The turbocharger significantly reduces engine noise, and an optional muffler can be installed to further reduce engine noise.

The engine is fuel injected which eliminates carburator icing risk. The other two seats helicopters available on the market are potentially subject to icing risk.
