Different Types Of Aircraft Engine Stand For Varied Range Of Aircraft Engines

Aircraft engine stands are as important as an aircraft engine is as aircraft engines are huge in size and they are complex as well and it is impossible to drag them like that, it may destroy them. So, therefore engines stands are made and there is a wide range of engine stands available for different types of engines and one such engine stand is Trent 700 stand.  

Standard characteristic of Trent 700 engine stand are :

a)Gold anodize mounts and caster ironware to cut down rust build-up.

b)Stainless cables and hardware to cut back the formation of rust, therefore an increase in the life of the stand.

c)Highly polished sky droll resistant paint on the mounts for long lasting appearance.

d)Custom nylon holders for mounts to cut down the damage to stand and paint and also stops the formation of rust.

e)Bootstrap competent cradle.

f)Shock affixed work- force pockets for handling and managing.

Options associated with Trent 700 stands are :

a)Custom coating.

b)Tow- bars.

c)Massive duty turn locking flip- up molds.

d)Sale, lease and rental.

There is also varied number of engines for which these stands can be used for :

1. Reciprocating Engines : A reciprocating engine in an airplane is quite similar to that of a car engine. There elementary operating principles are almost same. Generally, the power output of an engine is the result of the pistons moving up and down in the cylinder. This movement of piston turns the device which is known as rotating shaft. Now, the spinning of shaft rotates the propeller, which in return provides the trust and hence the plane moves.

2. Turbojet : The turbojet was the first developed engine used in an airplane. This type of engine has turbines and it produces thrust by consuming the air in through the rotation of compressor blades. The air then is made to move from the compressor to the combustion chamber, where the addition of fuel takes place and it is then ignited. This entire process helps to form thrust which helps the engine to move forward. These spinning turbines is attached to the compressor blades at the front of the engine, so as to bringing more and more air inside.

3. Turboprop : Turboprop engines are aircraft engines which has a turbine hot area which turns a propeller or rotor coil. The guts of a turboprop engine are the same as that of a jet airplane engine. If you compare turboprop to turbojet, then a turboprop is slower but at the same time it is more fuel efficient.

4. Turbofan : This engine is similar to that of turbojet but with an additive characteristic that is it passes some of the air around the internal parts of the engine. This air provides more additional thrust, which means less requirement of power. The other aspect of turbofan engine is that they are quieter and are more fuel efficient, therefore becoming popular amidst commercial aircrafts.
