Final testing is in the books for the -99 Yak Allison, and the results are looking damn good!

Our latest configuration showed a considerable improvement in horsepower, torque, and overall engine stability. After dialing everything in, the engine is running stronger, smoother, and more consistently than before.

The Yak engine is coming together! We're putting the finishing touches on it before it heads to the dyno. All that's left is timing the engine and verifying the carburetor flow settings to ensure everything is dialed in and performing exactly as it should.

At Strix Aero, we don't assume a part is serviceable just because it looks good. We measure it, inspect it, and verify it against specification, because when you're building engines that people trust with their lives, precision isn't optional.

One legendary warbird. One unforgettable visit.

Fresh off Oshkosh, The Flying Bulls stopped by our hangar with their stunning P-38 Lightning. It was an honor to have this iconic aircraft at the shop and spend time with the crew that keeps history flying. Powered by a pair of legendary Allison V-1710 V-12 engines, the P-38 remains one of the most iconic fighters of World War II, and seeing one up close is something special.

We love unique projects, Jacob came to us with one task, move a ton of air.

The goal was to spin the CH-5 turbo to 20,000rpm and collect data for future use. The added bonus was being able to push our Allison 1710 mule engine harder than it has been before. We held the rpm at 3000 extensively to turn the J79 compressor and exhaust enough air into the turbo.
