We identify 45 protostellar outflows in CO maps of the Orion A giant molecular cloud from the Combined Array for Research in Millimeter-wave Astronomy-Nobeyama Radio Observatory Orion survey. Our sample includes 11 newly detected outflows. We measure the mass and energetics of the outflows, including material at low velocities, by correcting for cloud contributions. The total momentum and kinetic energy injection rates of outflows are comparable to the turbulent dissipation rate of the cloud. We also compare the outflow position angles to the orientation of (CO)-O-18 filaments. We find that the full sample of outflows is consistent with being randomly oriented with respect to the filaments. A subsample of the most reliable measurements shows a moderately perpendicular outflow-filament alignment that may reflect accretion of mass across filaments and onto the protostellar cores.
