AVIATION PERFORMANCE PRODUCTS, INC.
MELBOURNE, FLORIDA

Based in Melbourne, Florida, AVIATION PERFORMANCE PRODUCTS, INC., aka APP Inc., has been a prominent name in the realm of aviation performance enhancements since its inception on October 16, 1990. The company earned a solid reputation for designing and producing high-quality exhaust systems that boost aircraft engine efficiency. Known for their forward-thinking approach, they used robust 331 Stainless Steel to create dual exhaust systems from models like the Dakota (260) Comanche. This material choice addressed durability issues common with older black-iron steel designs, promoting longer life and resistance to cracking. APP Inc.'s meticulously crafted products focus on optimizing power output by balancing all exhaust tubes into a single equal-length collector, paired with tailpipes engineered to maintain optimal flow despite heat exposure. The aviation community has embraced their enhancements for boosting aircraft speed and lowering noise levels without neglecting engine upkeep. While these improvements help aircraft approach their maximum safe airspeed, they do not cumulatively increase the speed but rather improve general efficiency. Founded by David P. Pratt and Sandra O. Pratt, APP Inc. was a significant player in Florida's aviation industry, merging safety with performance enhancements. However, on January 14, 2025, the company made the strategic decision to dissolve voluntarily.
