The illustrations showcase various components of the Lycoming engine, including the alternator, oil system, ignition, fuel system and air intake.

The Lycoming engine is a legendary powerplant in the world of aviation, known for its reliability, durability, and performance. As an artist and technical illustrator, I set out to bring this engineering marvel to life through detailed 3D illustrations. My goal was to create visuals that not only showcase the mechanical complexity of the engine but also serve as an educational tool for enthusiasts, students, and professionals.


Why 3D Illustrations Matter in Aviation
3D illustrations play a vital role in education, training, and engineering analysis. Whether used in pilot training manuals, maintenance guides, or aviation museums, high-quality visuals help bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical understanding.

Bringing the Lycoming engine to life in 3D was a challenging yet rewarding experience. These illustrations provide a deeper insight into the engineering excellence behind one of the most trusted aircraft engines in the industry. If you’re an aviation enthusiast, student, or professional, I hope these visuals help enhance your appreciation for mechanical innovation in flight.
