Summary

Description
English: Operating as a small subsidiary of the Auburn Auto Company, Lycoming produced its first aeronautical engine, the R-680, in 1929. The engine’s straightforward design and overall reliability established the company as a leader in the design and manufacture of aircraft engines. As a result, the Aviation Corporation acquired Lycoming in 1932 to add its engines to the corporation’s range of aeronautical products, which

included Stinson aircraft and Smith variable-pitch propellers.
The R-680 series powered various models of the Stinson Reliant cabin plane of the 19308 and the Boeing PT-13 Kaydet trainer of World War II. Overall, Lycoming manufactured over 26,000 R-680 engines. This R-680-BA, an early model in the R-680 series, first appeared in 1932.
