AE 1107C Engines Reach One Million Flight Hours


Aero Dynamix Inc. Receives Transport Canada (TCCA) Validation and STC# SH19-42 for the Night Vision Compatible Lighting Modifications on the Bell 505 Platform


Aero Dynamix Inc. (ADI) recently announced it has received Transport Canada (TCCA) validation and STC# SH19-42 for the Night Vision Compatible Lighting Modifications on the Bell 505 platform. “Earlier this year ADI received our FAA STC approval on the B505, and we continue to pursue and obtain foreign validations to support our customers’ needs and demonstrate our team’s expertise with their working knowledge of foreign regulatory agencies,” said Tonka Hufford, ADI’s chief operating officer.


The AE 1107C engines have exceeded one million engine flight hours on the Bell-Boeing V-22 Osprey, the world’s only production tiltrotor aircraft.


The Bell-Boeing V-22 fleet has reached a milestone, achieving 500,000 flight hours. The world’s only production tiltrotor aircraft, V-22 supports the U.S. Air Force Special Operations Command and the U.S. Marine Corps to conduct diverse missions in difficult operating environments.


“The V-22 remains one of the most sought-after capabilities in the Department of Defense, as seen in this monumental milestone,” said Josh Lash, vice president of U.S. Marine Corps/U.S. Coast Guard Customer Business. “Since inception it has been a game- changing platform that provides tremendous capability to the Marine Corps and U.S. Air Force Special Operations Command.”


The V-22 Osprey is powered by the Rolls-Royce AE 1107C engine, part of the AE engine line that began as a powerplant for the V-22 tiltrotor aircraft. Derivatives of the engine soon found their way onto other aircraft as a result of their power, adaptability and dependable design. The combined AE engine fleet has totalled more than 77 million engine flight hours of proven, dependable service in military and commercial aircraft.


“Rolls-Royce takes great pride in powering this revolutionary aircraft, and remains committed to providing superior service and support to the Marines and Air Commandos that fly and maintain them,” Lash said.


Thales Completes Airbus H145 Full Flight Simulator for Helisim Training Center in Texas


Thales recently completed the production of a new H145 Level D full flight simulator that will be installed in the Helisim Simulation Center now under construction at the headquarters of Airbus Helicopters Inc. in Grand Prairie, Texas. Upon completion of factory acceptance testing, the simulator is now going to be disassembled for shipment to Texas. Simulation center construction, installation of the H145 simulator, and Federal Aviation Administration certification are expected to be completed in Q2 2020.


More than 375 Ospreys, including the US Air Force CV-22 and the US Marine Corps MV-22, logged the flight hours for this impressive achievement. Recently, the V-22 was deployed to the Bahamas to assist in the relief efforts following Hurricane Dorian.


“The V-22 provides unmatched capability for the U.S. Marines and U.S. Air Force Special Operations Command,” said U.S. Marine Corps Col. Matthew Kelly, V-22 Joint Program Manager. “The platform’s influence on our nation’s defense is seen through its extensive operational and humanitarian impact across the globe.”
