VELIZY, FRANCE -- The Messier Services, SAFRAN Group, Tooling and GSE (Ground Support Equipment) design department, has just developed several line maintenance and repair and overhaul tooling sets, under Messier-Dowty and Messier-Bugatti manufacturing licenses.
These tooling sets are aimed at the next generation of aircraft. Here are a few examples:
* Airbus A400M: assembly and disassembly tools and other LRUs (Line Repair Units), including notably a landing gear disassembly trolley, currently used on the assembly line and that Air Forces will use in the future
* Airbus A380: nose landing gear tooling and maintenance kits for field teams
* Falcon 7X: tooling and GSE for certified repair stations and users
* Boeing B787: general repair and overhaul tooling
* SRJ 100: on line maintenance tooling
* A new hydraulic kit (ERAM 15000 type) which will be recommended to airlines, Air Forces and any other business jet or helicopter operators as from January 2008.
Deliveries have begun for much of this equipment. Messier Services offers training services on the use of this tooling upon customer request.
