About specialty pistons
    Filter

      We design, develop and produce pistons for aircraft, UAVs, APU, and other military applications. We have significant experience with the unique requirements for high output heavy fuel engines. We have found the direct-injected 2-stroke engine to offer the highest possible power to weight ratio for a heavy fuel engine and the piston requires some special attention in order to achieve optimum performance for that application. We offer custom piston and engine development support to companies that develop these types of engines.

      Testimonials

      "Recently we worked together on development program for a military drone engine. Steve was a priceless consultant in so many ways beyond the pistons he produced for the program."

      Mike Wienandt
      Owner, Wienandt Performance Technology

      "Leadfoot Engineering has been an extraordinary development partner. Our desires for the outcome of our piston development program—primarily friction and emissions
      reductions—are precisely what they delivered."

      Joshua Raimond
      Design Engineer, Pinnacle Engines

      "Steve is an extremely capable professional...the best I've seen in this industry! Steve's knowledge, experience, and commitment underscore the reason why he is so highly sought after, especially for his piston development work."

      Forrest Bowen
      Chairman, XRDi

      "Leadfoot refined the piston design in our diesel aircraft engine. The project has concluded with a successful, marketable product. This was a difficult application, being a two-stroke diesel that highly stresses the piston thermally and mechanically. Leadfoot was the principal developer of the final piston profile, and we have been highly satisfied with their work to date."

      Doug Doers
      CTO, Deltahawk Engines

      "Leadfoot is reliable and professional, with well -planned projects and smooth communication. Test results and project reports are accurate, well-documented, and delivered on time. The engineers offer ideas to solve problems based on good information and sound judgment. They have proved their competency in technically
      challenging projects and have always delivered excellent service with a great attitude."
