Wipaire Inc

Wipaire began providing services to the aviation community in 1960. In 1962 the first set of Wipline floats was installed. Over the years, Wipaire has developed a full line of aircraft floats for all sizes of aircraft from the Piper Cub to the de Havilland Twin Otter. Wipaire also manufactures AirGlide Aircraft Skis to accommodate snow and ice landings.

There is much more to the Wipaire operation than float manufacturing. Wipaire is also a full service aircraft repair/modification facility, Cessna Authorized Service Station, Pratt & Whitney gas turbine engine overhaul & repair. Our South St. Paul, MN facility is capable of performing many different services for aircraft including modification, maintenance, avionics, upholstery, and paint as well as complete service to all float products.

To date, Wipaire has developed more than 120 Supplemental Type Certificates (STCs) for the modification of aircraft. These FAA-approved modifications span the spectrum to include Wipline float installations, Federal ski installations, Cessna 206 right hand door installations, engine/propeller upgrades, gross weight increases, cabin extensions, battery relocations, instrument panels, and many more.
