Design and development
There is no carburated version of the engine, which would have been designated O-346 and therefore the base model is the IO-346.[1][2]
The IO-346 was designed to run on 91-98 avgas. The engine has a dry weight of 269.75 lbs or 297 lbs including the generator and starter. The ignition system consists of dual magnetos, one Scintilla S4RN-201 and one S4RN-205 or, alternatively, two Slick Electro 449 magnetos.[1][2]
Variants
- IO-346-A
- Base model, certified 27 July 1962[2]
- IO-346-B
- Identical to IO-346-A except it incorporates provisions for a hydraulic propeller control. Certified 23 June 1964.[2]
