AVIATION PERFORMANCE PRODUCTS, INC.
MELBOURNE, FLORIDA

AVIATION PERFORMANCE PRODUCTS, INC. (APP Inc.) is a Florida-based corporation renowned for its expert engineering in aviation performance enhancements. Founded on October 16, 1990, and headquartered in Melbourne, FL, APP Inc. specializes in manufacturing high-efficiency exhaust systems and other performance upgrades designed to optimize the power output of aircraft engines. The company focuses on innovative solutions such as utilizing dual exhaust systems from the Dakota (260) Comanche, constructed from durable 331 Stainless Steel to enhance longevity and resist cracking, a common drawback observed in older designs made with black-iron steel. Their products are meticulously designed to balance all exhaust tubes of equal length into a single collector to maximize engine performance; tailpipes engineered for minimal heat-induced discoloration ensure optimal exhaust flow. Appreciated by the aviation community, APP Inc.'s enhancements reportedly increase aircraft speed and reduce noise levels without compromising engine maintenance. While improvements can bring an aircraft closer to its maximum safe airspeed, customers are advised that these modifications do not cumulatively add to an airplane's speed but may improve efficiency. Despite their successful track record in enhancing aircraft performance, AVIATION PERFORMANCE PRODUCTS, INC. declared a voluntary dissolution as of January 14, 2025. Founded by David P. Pratt and Sandra O. Pratt, the company was well-regarded within Florida's aviation industry and played an essential role in advancing modifications that balance safety with enhanced performance.
