hen maintaining Pratt & Whitney’s revolutionary PW1100G-JM engines—the power behind 60% of Airbus A320neo fleets—generic stands won’t cut it. Aero Stands’ PW1100-specific engine stands are the only solutions co-certified with Pratt & Whitney to handle this engine’s advanced materials, oversized fan diameter, and hybrid-ready architecture. Here’s how our equipment is engineered to meet the GTF’s demands, with leasing models that keep your operations ahead of the curve.
Why Aero Stands’ PW1100 Solutions Outperform
Unlike third-party alternatives, our stands are built to Pratt & Whitney’s GTF Technical Specifications (P&W TS 7.8-21). Key differentiators include:
| Feature | Aero Stands’ PW1100 Stand | Generic Stands |
|---|---|---|
| Compatibility | PW1100G-JM/-JM1A/-JM1B variants | Limited to legacy PW6000 engines |
| Safety Certifications | EASA Part 21G + P&W Joint Validation | FAA-only |
| Load Capacity | 7,200 kg (supports engine + rigging) | 5,500 kg max |
