What kind of engines does the Cessna 152 have?

• A. Lycoming IO-360
• B. Avco Lycoming O-235-N2C (108 BHP at 2550 RPM)
• C. Continental O-200
• D. Lycoming O-320

Answer: (B)

The engine in the Cessna 152 is a small Lycoming powerplant from the O-235 family, specifically the Avco Lycoming O-235-N2C, rated at about 108 horsepower at 2550 RPM. This combination fits the light airframe of the 152, providing enough power for safe takeoffs and climbs while keeping fuel use and weight reasonable. The other options describe larger or different-brand engines that aren’t used in the 152, so they don’t match the aircraft’s typical installation.
