In 2009 Loravia introduced an engine for light aviation. It is the LOR-75, a 4-stroke engine that runs on gasoline. It has three cylinders and twelve valves.

-This engine is water cooled and has belted gear at a ratio of 2.47 to 1. The gearbox output transmission rotates at 2,400 rpm max.

-It has electronic ignition with fuel injection and an electric starter motor.

-The power is 75 CV (55 kW) at 6,000 rpm. The displacement is 998 cc.

-It can run on 85/98 automotive gasoline or AVGAS 100 LL.

Author's note: Emphasizing that their new engines come out to use automotive gasoline, perhaps because they are adapted engines.

-Certainly they can run on it, but at high altitudes this will give problems.

-Because of the lower surface pressure of the fuel, and in the aircraft and engine facilities due to the lower atmospheric pressure and heat in the engine compartment, a Vapor Lock can be produced, preventing the fuel flow, thus stopping the engines.

From Appendix 9: Below we show another picture for the engine adapted by this company for its ultralight aircraft.
