Hexatron Engineering Company, Inc. has manufactured commercial aircraft components since 1982 and continues to be an FAA-PMA approved manufacturing facility building crew seats for the McDonnell-Douglas fleet of DC9, DC10, and MD80 Transports. Our facility is located in the northern part of Salt Lake County.
DEVELOPMENT
The manufacturing and production of the HEXADYNE P60 engine evolved through the development by Hexatron Engineering Company, Inc. (USA) in partnership with Weslake AirServices (UK) who provided, not only test cell services, but years of experience in designing and building formula one racing car engines - most notably Al Gurney's famous Eagle.
MANUFACTURING QUALITY
We inspect every part. We perform thousands of individual inspections and thoroughly document each step of the manufacturing process. All in accordance with a MIL-I-45208 Inspection System that is FAA approved, even though the Hexadyne P60 engine is a non-certified engine.
Engineering, manufacture, assembly and production testing is performed at the Salt Lake City, Utah plant of Hexatron Engineering.
FEATURES
Our goal is to produce and deliver the highest quality, most economical operating lifetime power plant using proven engine control systems. The cost of ownership is minimized.
To justify full scale production,
the proto type engine had to
successfully complete and pass
a rigorous test program on the
Dynamometer in the test cells.
After initial trials, and many engineering changes and improvements, then after months of continuous running, the basic design was pronounced "go" and production started.

Significant advantages for a Hexadyne P60 engine rated against the HKS engines:
 | Lighter weight, by 10+ pounds |
| Larger displacement 800cc for Hexadyne vs 680cc means that Hexadyne has lower peak pressures and temperatures. |
| Engine management system - more economical less likely to suffer variations of mixture, ratio, less likely to ice up; less wear. |
| Cylinders in the Hexadyne P60 engine are in line eliminating a rocking couple vibration; engine runs smoother; less wear. |
| Engine mounts on the Hexadyne P60 engine are designed for rear 4 point dyna-focal mount. The HKS mounts are bed type. |
| The Hexadyne P60 engine is more compact in overall dimensions. |
