Founded in 1905 in Muskegon, Michigan, Continental® has consistently delivered high-performing engines.

From its pioneering role in early aviation to becoming a leading provider of AvGas and Jet-A piston engines, Continental® continues to set industry standards and provide new offerings. In addition to celebrating 120 years, the company also proudly celebrates reaching 12 million Jet-A flight hours, the launch of a new website, and enhanced factory training programmes and tools, reinforcing our ongoing dedication to excellence and innovation in the aviation industry. With over a century of proven success, Continental® is honoured to introduce new advanced solutions to support pilots, owners, and mechanics in their portion of the flying journey.
“Reaching our 120th anniversary is a testament to the resilience and drive of Continental and the passion of those who have been part of this journey,” said Karen Hong, President and CEO of Continental Aerospace Technologies. “For us, it’s all about ‘Powering Legacies Forward.’ This reflects our commitment to building upon the foundational work of our past while advancing toward the future.
