About ContinentalCertified AvGas Engines
See in-stock engines
200 Series
For decades, student pilots learned to fly behind the O-200. The O-200-D is lighter, with no give in durability or service life.
300 Series
More power to climb and cruise. Some 360 models make up to 225 HP turbocharged and intercooled.
400 Series
Pilots call the O-470 “old reliable.” It powered most Cessna® 180 and fixed-gear 182 aircraft from 1953 to 1986.
500 Series
285 to 375 HP, naturally aspirated or turbocharged. First flown in the Beechcraft® Bonanza and Cessna® Centurion in 1964.
Certified Jet-A Engines
Jet-A engines run on the jet fuel sold at almost every airport, and on diesel too in the CD-155 and CD-170. Flight schools favor them, and major aircraft makers specify them.

CD-135
Same weight as the 1.7 l engines it replaces, so it drops straight in.
CD-155
Runs on jet fuel, diesel or any mix of the two. Also sold as a complete retrofit kit.
CD-170
Jet fuel or diesel. The CD-170R version is type certified for helicopters.
CD-300
The newest in the family: raw power in a small footprint.
Where the Retrofit Kit Fits
The CD-155 comes as a complete firewall-forward kit: engine, mount, propeller, dual FADEC, harnesses and gauges. It arrives pre-assembled, and a trained Installation Center fits it.

What Owners Say
“Both of my Continental engines, the IO-520 in my Bonanza and the Titan XIO-340 in my RANS S-21, give me the confidence to live life to the fullest!”
“Whether I’m flying IFR across the Alps, landing on a short island strip in the North Sea, or taking my girlfriend on an adventure through 13 countries in 11 days, the power, reliability, and fuel flexibility of Continental engines make it all possible.”
“Since then, we’ve flown it all over the country, adding hundreds of hours to the same engine and cylinders it left the factory with.”
