Design and development

The aluminum block Viking 110 has electronic ignition and multi-port fuel injection. It was introduced in 2009 and is based upon the 2009 model Honda Fit automotive engine. It produces 110 hp (82 kW) through a mechanical gear reduction drive with helical gears, with a reduction ratio of 2.33:1. A Warp Drive Inc propeller is recommended. The design was later developed into the Viking 130, producing 130 hp (97 kW) and which replaced the 110 in production.[2][3][4]

Operational history

By August 2016 the company had delivered 100 engines and had 25 reported flying.[4]
