The Superior Air Parts Vantage is a type certified piston aircraft engine developed by Superior Air Parts of Coppell, Texas, United States and based upon the non-certified Superior Air Parts XP-360. The design is officially designated the Superior Air Parts O-360 and IO-360. Vantage is a marketing name. [1] [2]
The company is owned by the Chinese company Superior Aviation Beijing, which is 60% owned by Chairman Cheng Shenzong and 40% owned by Beijing E-Town, an economic development agency of the municipal government of Beijing.
The Vantage engine is a development of the XP-360 experimental engine that was put through the US Federal Aviation Administration engine type certification process starting in 1996. Certification was based on FAR 33 through amendment 20, effective 13 December 2000, application 17 July 2001 and certification was achieved on 31 March 2004. The initial time between overhauls was set at 1,000 hours, with an aim of expanding that to 2,000 hours. [1] [3] [4]
The engine is a four-cylinder, horizontally opposed, four-stroke, 361 cu in (5,916 cc) displacement, air-cooled, direct-drive, gasoline engine design. It produces 165 to 180 hp (123 to 134 kW), depending on the model. It is available in carburetor-equipped and fuel injected versions. [2]

The Oldsmobile V8, also referred to as the Rocket, is a series of engines that was produced by Oldsmobile from 1949 until 1990. The Rocket, along with the 1949 Cadillac V8, were the first post-war OHV crossflow cylinder head V8 engines produced by General Motors. Like all other GM divisions, Olds continued building its own V8 engine family for decades, adopting the corporate Chevrolet 350 small-block and Cadillac Northstar engine only in the 1990s. All Oldsmobile V8s were assembled at plants in Lansing, Michigan while the engine block and cylinder heads were cast at Saginaw Metal Casting Operations.

The Packard X-2775 was an American experimental liquid-cooled aircraft engine. The engine was constructed as a single crankcase with four banks of six cylinders in what is close to an X-configuration. The engine consisted of two 60° V12 engines, one upright and one inverted, sharing a common crankcase. Although technically incorrect, the engine has been characterized as two Packard 1A-1500 V-12 engines coupled with a mutual crankcase.
