These expanded capabilities include dedicated processes for the repair and overhaul of various component types including fan cases, acoustic liners, stationary air/oil seals, spinner cones, fan platforms, outer guide vanes and vane booster assemblies to name a few. Specific examples of engines that will be supported by the new expansion include GE90 fan platforms, booster vanes and CVTs as well as CFM56/CF6 acoustic panels, OGVs, bearing supports and spinner cones.
“We view these new capabilities as a ‘business-within-a-business’ within our expanded composite processing cell complete with dedicated manufacturing, engineering and quality in a self-contained processing centre that handles only composite overhauls, repairs and repair developments,” said Rick Stine, president of StandardAero military and components sector.
“StandardAero has more than 10 years experience with composite repair. With this expansion and added capacity, we can exceed market expectations for turnaround time and also meet the future needs of our customers.”
