About Us
Craftspeople Who Fly Their Own
We are the only engine shop in the UK that flies our own engines. That single fact tells you everything about our commitment to quality.
Our Story
Built on a Foundation of Trust and Precision
Aero Engines & Powerplants was founded on a simple belief: that aircraft owners deserve better. Better communication. Better transparency. Better quality. And a workshop that holds itself to the same standards it promises to its customers.
As pilots ourselves, we understand what it means to trust an engine with your life. Every engine that leaves our workshop has been built to the standard we would accept for our own aircraft. This is not a marketing claim \u2014 we genuinely fly our own engines.
We invested heavily in our workshop, our tooling, and our parts inventory. This investment allows us to deliver faster turnaround times without ever compromising on quality. Our substantial stock holdings mean your engine build rarely waits for parts.
We are fully certified and our guarantee matches our competitors. But our confidence in our work exceeds theirs \u2014 because we stake our own lives on it.
Our Values
The Principles That Guide Every Build
Quality Above All
We never cut corners. Every component, every tolerance, every specification is met or exceeded. Cost is secondary to getting it right.
Radical Transparency
Photographic evidence of findings. Revised quotations with clear explanations. No hidden costs or surprises. You always know where you stand.
Open Communication
We keep you informed at every stage. Your questions are always welcome, and we take the time to explain our work in plain language.
Personal Accountability
We fly our own engines. There is no greater accountability than trusting your own life to the quality of your work.
Our Workshop
Purpose-Built for Precision
Our workshop is equipped with the tooling and test equipment necessary to overhaul piston aircraft engines to the highest standards. Our dynamometer facility allows every engine to be fully tested before release.
We welcome owners to visit at any time. There is no better way to understand our standards than to see our workshop first-hand.
