ZT-T550 — Features & Engineering

Horizontally Opposed Four-Cylinder with Forged Crankshaft
Engine Design

Horizontally Opposed Four-Cylinder with Forged Crankshaft

The ZT-T550 uses a horizontally opposed, four-cylinder layout with a bore of 66mm and stroke of 40mm, giving 550cc displacement. The engine operates across 1300–7500 rpm and delivers 49.62hp (37kW).

The crankshaft is a forged seven-piece assembly for maximum strength. Pistons are oval-ground aluminium alloy castings. Cylinders are cast aluminium alloy with a ceramic nickel-silicon hardened inner-wall coating for extended wear resistance. Lubrication ratio: 50:1.

Solid-State Magneto with CDI Automatic Angle Ignition
Ignition & Fuel

Solid-State Magneto with CDI Automatic Angle Ignition

The ZT-T550 uses solid-state magneto ignition with CDI automatic angle adjustment. The firing order uses opposed two-cylinder synchronous ignition with automatic switching at 500 rpm.

Two diaphragm-type all-around carburetors (without choke or injector nozzles) provide fuel delivery at 14L/h. EFI version: 10L/h. Generator: 800W or 2000W. Options: exhaust pipe, starter, generator. Recommended propellers: 32×20, 30×23, 30×25.

Fuel System

Dual Carburetor Configuration

The ZT-T550 features a matched pair of carburetors — one per cylinder bank — delivering consistent fuel delivery across all four cylinders. This symmetrical layout supports the horizontally opposed architecture and ensures balanced power output at all RPMs.

Recommended propellers: D700×H750 and 28×20. Fuel consumption at full power: approximately 18L/h.
