Overview

When an engine has to come off the wing, every minute the aircraft sits idle costs money. RH Aero’s Engine Change Equipment – built around the COBRA Universal Engine-Change System and complemented by purpose-built stands and tooling – lets crews remove, transfer and re-install most of todays turbofans safely and up to 70 % faster than traditional bootstrap methods.
