family-owned business.
Mace Aviation, LLC was formed by Robert C. Mace Jr. and Ryan Mace and is a continuation of a long tradition in aviation. Mace Aviation, LLC has roots that go back to the end of World War II when our grandfather, George Mace had recently left the Army Air Corps as a combat instructor pilot and began buying, flying and selling general aviation and WWII aircraft. Our father, Robert C. Mace Sr. continued on with the aviation tradition, which inspired our passion for aviation and led us to form Mace Aviation, LLC.
Mace Aviation, LLC is a small, family-owned business that was formed to provide high quality aerospace design, engineering and manufacturing services. Mace Aviation, LLC has a growing list of internally developed products for use in the commercial and defense industries.
