Aero Sport Power

What Aero Sport Power does

Aero Sport Power designs, customizes, assembles, and overhauls high-performance experimental aircraft piston engines from its 15,000 square foot facility at Kamloops Airport in British Columbia, Canada. The company is recognized as a pioneer of stroker engine technology, converting standard Lycoming and Continental engines into higher displacement configurations for increased horsepower, with thousands of these engines now flying worldwide. Core capabilities include custom engine builds with proprietary components (counterweighted crankshafts, high compression pistons, roller camshafts, ported cylinders), complete overhaul and repair services (prop strikes, metal contamination, non-destructive testing, cylinder port and polish), and integration of electronic ignition and fuel injection systems from brands including E-Mag, EFII, SDS, and Precision Airmotive. The company also offers a Build School program providing hands-on 2-3 day engine building training with certified technicians.

The business operates a direct sales model with quote-based pricing for custom builds, supplemented by parts distribution (authorized AeroShell lubricants plus components from Sky-Tec, B&C, Plane Power) and channel partnerships for certified engines (Pro Aero Aviation) and factory-new engines (Progressive Air). Customer acquisition relies on digital channels including YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook, plus word-of-mouth within the experimental aviation community. Engines and parts are shipped globally to markets including Australia, Dubai, Africa, Asia, and Europe, while customers can also fly to the Kamloops facility for on-site service. The customer base consists of individual experimental aircraft builders and owners operating aircraft such as Vans RV's, Pitts Specials, Rockets, and Cubs.

The company has operated for over 25 years, employs between 11-50 people, and maintains ongoing technical support through licensed master technicians with meticulous build records retained for each engine. Revenue is generated through one-time custom engine sales, professional service fees for overhauls and repairs, parts/hardware sales, and Build School program fees. No public funding rounds, acquisitions, or institutional investors are disclosed in the available data.
