About
Based in Illinois, US, Aviation Products Systems, Inc. , aka APS, operates as a developer and manufacturer of brake discs, pads, and linings for aircraft. In August 2024, Victor Sierra Aviation Holdings LLC, a portfolio company of Vance Street Capital, acquired Aviation Products Systems, Inc. As of 2024, the company is led by its president, Pat McNamara.
The company manufactures BlackSteel® brake discs and linings, which are CNC machined from one-piece forgings. This manufacturing process creates a directional grain flow within the metal, resulting in a disc with a reduced risk of cracking and catastrophic failure. The firm’s discs undergo a proprietary heat treatment process that transforms the steel itself, bonding carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen in the top layer of the metal. APS brake products are designed to withstand the thermal cycling common in aircraft braking systems.
