Sky-Tec

 

Take a flight around the pattern on our web.  We think you'll quickly understand why nearly 100,000 pilots and aircraft owners like you have selected Sky-Tec starters for their aircraft.  Sky-Tec's singular relentless focus is simple: offer customers the best value, best performing lightweight starters for their piston engine powered aircraft.  That is all we do.  And we do it quite well.

NO BENDIX - Bendix drives may be good for early 20th century tractors but not aircraft.  Sky-Tec uses much more reliable alternatives to high  maintenance and unreliable centrifugal mechanical engagement drives offered by others.

Flyweight™ - Don't confuse weight with power.  Sky-Tec starters actually offer BOTH:  Light weight AND high torque.  It's how we roll.

High Torque - Sky-Tec starters utilize significant gear reduction methods to produce a vast increase in available torque.  In addition, many models are designed to increase starting RPM by as much as 100% cutting your starting time in half - saving both battery life and wear on your engine and electrical system 

Rugged Design - Sky-Tec starters are engineered to exceed engine TBO lifetimes and withstand the toughest operating environments.

Unmatched Customer Service - We are pilots and aircraft owners too.  We understand unique fit issues and can guide you through installations and troubleshooting.  We sincerely like to hear from our customers.  With Sky-Tec you don't have to go it alone.  Our vast network of Dealers and in-house technical specialists are ready and available to help you fit, install and maintain peak performance of your Sky-Tec starter.

The leader - Ask around.  Find out what starter the pilots on your field are using.  Ask any Sky-Tec user what they think of their starter.  Chances are you won't have to look very far to find a very satisfied Sky-Tec customer.  And we promise to leave the selling to them.
