About Trace Engines L.P.
The TRACE V-8 engine is the most powerful reciprocating aviation engine in the world. Available at less
than half the price of comparable turbine powerplants, the TRACE V-8 offers better performance, fuel
economy and reliability than any turbine engine in its class.
TRACE engines are FAA certified and designed for single and dual engine airframes rated in the range of
450 to 750 horsepower. Below are a few of the benefits that OEMs, STC retrofitters and overhaul
technicians can expect by converting from turbines to TRACE V-8 engines.
-Improved takeoff performance, range and speed
-Consistent horsepower up to 20,000 feet
-Up to 40% in fuel savings and 50% in maintenance savings
-Less than half the initial cost of comparable turbines
Located in Midland, Texas, Texas Reciprocating Air Craft Engines (TRACE) L.P. is a privately held
manufacturer of aircraft V-8 engines that offer a high performance, economical alternative to turbines.
TRACE engines help OEMs, STC retrofitters, freight, business and small commercial airline operators
take advantage of better climbing performance, lower fuel and maintenance costs and over 50% savings
in initial purchase price versus comparable turbines.
In August of 2006, TRACE Engines L.P. purchased the intellectual property, manufacturing rights, and
physical inventory of ORENDA, a Canadian manufacturer of Type Certified and Production Certified
aviation engines. TRACE upgraded the ORENDA engine for better performance and fuel economy to
meet the changing fiscal demands of the aviation industry. Today, TRACE offers six models of production
engines built and ready for sale, as well as a fully FAA Certified production and testing facility.
The TRACE water-cooled V-8 engine is the only FAA certified piston engine capable of producing 600
horsepower at takeoff and 500 horsepower continuously, making it the most powerful reciprocating
aviation engine in production. TRACE currently powers aircraft from Cessna, Air Tractor and De
Havilland rated in the 450 to 750 horsepower range. Interested parties are invited to our facility for a
flight demo and a cost-savings analysis of TRACE engine conversions.
