Standardized Couplings – Aeroquip AE 96997 M / AE 96996 P interfaces enable consistent, secure hookup.
Integrated Hose & Storage – Family provisions include hose sets and storage boxes for protected transport and staging.
PGRAT1-Compatible Stowage – Designed to fit the PGRAT1 adapter drawer for fast setup and tidy logistics.
Highlights
RATMK standardizes ground-drive solutions for Airbus RAT functional testing with organized stowage and common interfaces.
Application Cases
RAT Functional Testing – Ground-drive of Ram Air Turbines on approved Airbus programs.
Maintenance & Troubleshooting – Spin-up and verification during line and base maintenance.
Configuration Options
Safety & Operation
Hydraulic ground supply drives the RAT in a controlled manner for functional testing.
Clearly identified supply, return, and leakage connections simplify correct setup.
Standard Aeroquip couplings with protective caps maintain secure, repeatable interfaces.
Family kits support RAT functional test procedures for approved Airbus programs.
Organized storage reduces handling errors and contamination risk between tasks.
Mobility & Transport
Dedicated storage boxes secure motors and hoses during movement.
Compatibility with the PGRAT1 adapter drawer streamlines transport and staging.
Compact geometry eases positioning at the aircraft and in the workshop.
Durability & Corrosion Protection
Aluminum construction resists corrosion and reduces overall handling weight.
Protective caps help preserve coupling sealing surfaces between uses.
Robust housings and hardware support repeated shop and ramp operations.
Why RH Aero?
Modular Ground-Drive—Airbus Alignment
The RATMK family delivers a standardized, modular approach to RAT ground-drive across Airbus programs. Common interfaces, organized stowage, and clear hookups support safe, repeatable execution. With family-level provisions for hoses and storage, operators reduce setup time and improve availability across maintenance cycles.
