Welcome to Sky Dynamics
Sky Dynamics Corporation's beginnings go back to 1972. Founder Kevin Murray (BSME, A&P, IA), a recent Mechanical Engineering graduate of the University of Hartford, started building the bodies and chro-moly chassis for many of the country's NHRA Top Fuel and Funny Car drag racing teams.
Game Composites contacted us to manufacture the unique exhaust system and intake components to complement the streamlined cowling.

David Windmiller - Edge 540
One of our favorite people and another incredible pilot from the northeast US, David Windmiller's Edge 540 uses a few of our products. His AEIO-540 built by PennYan Aero features our Lightweight Maxi-Sump system, 6/1 Exhaust, and Lightweight Flywheel (for LSE Ignition). In the next few weeks he will also be installing our new Top Cylinder Girdle kit and Air-Fuel Ratio monitor.
Frank Knapp's STOL Cub
Frank built this highly modified J-3 Cub with lightness in mind and it paid off, weighing only 685 pounds when completed. For power, Frank is using a Don's Dream Machines C-85 engine with our lightweight 4/1 exhaust system. All combined with some great piloting, this has produced incredible STOL results - takeoffs and landings in less than 60 feet! Frank won his class at the 2013 and 2014 Valdez STOL Competitions and his results were the best recorded through the entire event.
