Soloy Develops Repair for Rolls-Royce 250 Air Inlets
Soloy Aviation Solutions has developed a repair and overhaul procedure for the composite turbine air inlet assembly installed on several Rolls Royce 250-B17 turbine conversions. Originally produced by Lucas Aerospace, the entire forward facing and duct interior surface areas are coated with a sprayed metallic, electrically-conductive coating. Certification testing has shown that the system will prevent ice build up on the popular Soloy 206H turbine conversion, as well as the O & N C210 and Tradewind Turbines A36 Bonanza turbo prop conversions. Until recently, repairs to damaged coatings
were only available in the United Kingdom. This caused significant inconvenience and extended down time while the component was out of service.

The work for both 5-year contracts will be carried out at SR Technics’ facility in Zurich as well as with Asian partners.
