Superior's XP-Series

are the #1 factory new

engines for the

Sport Aviation Market

From 150 to 185 horsepower, there’s a factory new XP-Engine for your homebuilt aircraft or helicopter
 
 

Superior’s XP-Engines give airplane and helicopter builders the widest array of factory new engine models and horsepower ranges so you can find the perfect blending of performance, reliability and value to “re-power” your current aircraft or for your next project.

Starting with a 150-horsepower XP-320 to the 180 horsepower XP-360, no matter which XP-Series Engine you choose, you are getting a factory fresh engine that brings you all of Superior’s industry leading design, manufacturing and performance advancements. You get an engine that runs better, smoother, and cooler than anything in its class.

Standard XP-320 and XP-360 Engines are made with brand new parts. The same parts used to build our 180-horsepower FAA-certified Vantage Engine. When you choose an XP-Engine you are truly getting factory engine quality at a homebuilt price.

For optimum flexibility and value, the XP-320 and XP-360 also have the flexibility to run on either 100LL Avgas or unleaded automotive gasoline.*

Of course, as an industry innovator, Superior has an array of non-certified parts and components that are not available on any standard factory engines. Current options include roller lifters, cold air induction sumps, electronic ignition, and performance fuel injection systems. 

Superior also stands behind the quality of every XP-Engine with the best warranty in the business.
