Superior Air Parts

Superior Air Parts, Inc. is an aircraft engine parts and engine maker in Coppell, Texas. The address is 621 South Royal Lane, Suite 100, Coppell, TX 75019, and the phone is 972-829-4600. The company holds FAA Parts Manufacturer Approval, known as PMA, for over 2,000 replacement parts for Lycoming and Continental aircraft engines.

The company says its parts use newer designs, materials and production methods than the legacy parts they replace. Its Millennium Cylinders are shown with aluminum alloy heads, a computer-made head fin design, through hardened steel barrels and a 37 month warranty. The home page carries news that the FAA approved an alternative method of compliance on the airworthiness directive for these cylinders, with a PDF and an AOPA article linked.

Superior also builds complete engines. The Vantage Engine is FAA certified and rated at 180 horsepower. The company says it was the first new generation, US built and FAA certified piston engine in nearly 50 years. The XP-Series engines are experimental engines for homebuilders. They run from 150 to 215 horsepower and come in aircraft, helicopter and aerobatic setups. Both engine lines run on avgas or automotive gasoline, with a note on the site.

The company says its parts are sold through a global network of dealers and distributors. The site has a parts search of its inventory. The contact page tells buyers to contact a distributor, offers an engine quote request form, and has a general inquiry form. There is also a careers page.
