FAQs

Getting to Know Engine StandThe Hydro Engine Stand Trent 1000 Sling represents a cutting-edge solution for handling and transporting Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 engines. This specialized equipment is meticulously engineered to support Boeing B787-8 and B787-10 aircraft operations. As a versatile transportation platform, it accommodates both complete engines and Quick Engine Change Units (QECU), making it an indispensable asset for aviation maintenance facilities.

Features and Applications Engine StandThis advanced engine stand excels in multiple operational scenarios, from engine installation and removal to long-term storage and local movement. Its innovative shock-absorbing design ensures optimal protection during handling, while retractable castors facilitate smooth maneuverability in tight spaces. The stand features integrated forklift tubes and crane lifting points, offering flexible handling options whether loaded or unloaded. The stand’s adaptability shines through its compatibility with the COBRA engine change system and bootstrap capability for aircraft pylon installation. Its open cradle design, complemented by foldable trunnions with dedicated storage, provides unrestricted access to engine components. The integration of dual wheel castors enables multi-directional towing, enhancing operational flexibility.

Technical Specifications Engine StandThe Hydro Engine Stand combines robust construction with practical functionality. Its compact dimensions (4,630 mm length, 2,440 mm width, 2,250 mm height) make it ideal for workshop environments while maintaining a manageable weight of 3,590 kg. The design incorporates advanced shock and vibration isolation systems, eliminating the need for shock lock-out procedures. For transportation, the stand is certified for both road and sea freight, featuring integrated swivel tie-down rings for secure anchoring during transit.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the typical lead time for gas turbine overhaul services?

The lead time for gas turbine overhaul services ranges from 6 to 14 weeks, depending on the damage assessment, parts availability, and whether hot-section repairs are required. Expedited options may reduce this by 30%.
Do you provide customizations for legacy turbine control systems?

Yes, we retrofit legacy systems (e.g., GE Frame 5, Siemens V94.2) with modern digital controllers, typically completing hardware integration within 4-8 weeks. Software migration requires additional validation time.
How often should industrial gas turbines undergo performance testing?

We recommend annual performance testing under ISO 3977-2 standards. Critical applications (e.g., offshore platforms) may require semi-annual tests with emissions compliance checks.
Are your radiation-hardened (rad-hard) semiconductors compliant with MIL-PRF-38535?

All rad-hard devices (e.g., FPGA, ADC) are QML Class V certified under MIL-PRF-38535 and tested to MIL-STD-883 Method 1019 for SEU tolerance. Full qualification reports are available upon request.
What temperature ranges do your military-grade ICs support?

Our ASICs and power management ICs operate across -55°C to +175°C ambient temperatures, with derating curves provided in military temperature range (MTR) datasheets.
Are PMA parts interchangeable with OEM components?

Our PMA parts (e.g., actuators, sensors) hold FAA/EASA Form 1 certification and match OEM form/fit/function. Installation requires SB/MB documentation per FAA AC 23.1529.
What traceability standards do you follow for aircraft fasteners?

All NAS/MS fasteners include full DNA traceability: melt source (AMS 2301), heat/lot numbers, and AS9100-compliant MTRs with ultrasonic test reports.
How do you handle urgent AOG (Aircraft on Ground) requests?

AOG orders ship within 4 hours for stocked items (FAA-PMA, EASA Part 21G). Non-stock critical parts trigger priority manufacturing with 72-hour max turnaround.
