Leading ignition technology in aircraft since 1986, Light Speed Engineering has evolved as the known source for proven performance and reliability. For more information on electronic ignition for aircraft, you can hear a Webinar by Light Speed Engineering founder, Klaus Savier. New Lycoming Thunderbolt engines are pre-drilled for easy installation of the PLASMA CD Ignition systems.
Continental Motors, formerly ECi, and Superior engines are also available ready for Plasma CDI "bolt-on" upon request. PLASMA Ignition is also available from the leading engine builders on new & overhauled experimental engines. The Plasma III and Plasma II Plus Capacitor Discharge (CD) Ignition systems give you the best power and efficiency increase of any ignition source available today.
Proven for over 27 years in racing and numerous world records, it is the best choice to make your engine run smoother with more power and 10 - 20% better range (dependent on power setting). The reliability and light weight of the Plasma CDI cannot be matched by any mechanically driven system.

Services
Light Speed Engineering, LLC, Located at the historic Santa Paula (SZP) airport in Santa Paula, California, has specialized in design, development and production of speed modifications for sport aircraft registered in the experimental category since 1985.
LSE strives to improve aircraft performance including stability, speed and efficiency.
One of our broader goals at LSE is to demonstrate aviation as a safe, economical and feasible mode of personal transportation.
LSE's test vehicle, a highly modified Vari Eze, demonstrates seat-miles/gallon values better than any airliner at comparable point-to-point speeds, especially when considering time spent traveling to and from major airports.

Light Speed Engineering, LLC (LSE) is a pioneer in the design and production of ignition systems for experimental aircraft.
Nineteen years of research and development have been invested in producing the PLASMA CDI (Capacitive Discharge Ignition) system product line.
LSE's PLASMA CD systems are the ideal replacement for yesterday's magneto technology.
You can replace one mag with a PLASMA CDI or, for maximum performance, replace both magnetos with these state of the art systems.
The Plasma CDI is a solid-state, high performance ignition system intended for today's home built aircraft.

1. Why should I choose Plasma CDI over good old magnetos?
2. What is the difference between the Plasma II Plus and the Plasma III system?
3. Can I use one Plasma CDI and one mag?
How do they work together?
4. How does the Plasma CD system advance the timing?
5. Will my engine temperatures change when I install a Plasma CDI?
6. What are the power requirements for the Plasma CD systems?
7. Back-up battery?
8. I have an older Lycoming engine with a small generator pulley, does that work with the Direct Crank Sensor system?
