FBO Today

Like many businesses in aviation, 2020 has been a wild ride for AERO Specialties. As a company that provides advanced Ground Support Equipment (GSE) to general aviation, FBO, MRO, commercial airlines, and government applications, AERO has not been hit quite as hard as other GSE providers. However, this year has certainly left its mark. Like many, AERO Specialties had to make difficult choices for the sake of longevity, but there are certain areas critical to forward progress and innovation that could not be compromised: innovation, quality, and service.

Since the early 2000’s, large-scale investors and private equity firms have seen value and opportunity in Aerospace. For the first time in history, private entities are breaking the mold in space exploration and unmanned technologies. Products and services have been made available to the consumer market that were previously only accessible to government agencies. In the past 5 years, the FBO and MRO markets have seen considerable consolidation, investment, and growth at record levels. Advances in aviation, such as the new push for supersonic travel in both commercial and private applications have pushed the envelope of what will be asked of FBO and MRO operations. This challenge means more opportunity for GSE companies willing to meet it. Embracing this challenge head on, AERO Specialties used 2020 as an opportunity to double down on their commitment to new technologies and surpass industry standards to deliver their customers state of the art equipment.

As revolutionary technologies converge on traditional private aviation, the scope of work for FBOs and MROs is growing. While daunting, AERO Specialties’ is uniquely equipped to help their partners meet that challenge with more intuitive, safer, and easier to maintain solutions than any other OEM on the market. By working with industry partners early in the design phase, AERO Specialties is actively developing support equipment that meets the demands of future aviation and ground handling expectations. Solutions such as their patented SafeLav system which makes overfilling lavatory systems nearly impossible, and the new JetGo 900 which provides the flattest voltage and coolest engine starts for the most demanding 28V DC Aircraft, and unique handling solutions for advanced aircraft that has not yet reached the market. These systems provide the service demanded by new aircraft within a user interface that is easier than ever for the ground operator. Even the basics such as towbars that feature proprietary stainless-steel engagements and a thicker powder coating, ensuring AERO towbars stand up to weather and decades of hard work. Such developments provide advantages in service differentiation and scalability to their customer base and key partners such as Million Air are taking full advantage of these product developments. Few operations better embody the convergence of private investment, and service through advanced GSE offered by AERO, than that of the new Million Air El Paso facility, opening in early 2021.

In 1984, the Million Air brand launched a new kind of luxury FBO experience that would set a new standard. Million Air is an award-winning network of luxury executive FBO terminals, spanning three continents. Celebrating its 36th anniversary, Million Air has been named Best Large FBO Chain for the past nine years delivering genuine care and exceptional service to aircraft owners, pilots, and their distinguished guests. The new El Paso location is the 5th Million Air in Texas and 32nd location for the network. Franklin Mountain Aviation will become part of Million Air with their new world-class facility in El Paso Texas and they spared no expense on safety and passenger comfort for their equipment. The GSE package supplied by AERO Specialties features a full suite of equipment and some unique technology that will give them a serious wow factor. For example, the TLD JST baggage and cargo tractor with a solid forged-steel body for exceptional durability. The revolutionary TLD TMX-50 pushback with 4-wheel steering, IATA compliant seating for the driver and wing-walker, and superior smooth pushbacks from its hydrostatic transmission. The JetGo 900 28VDC diesel GPUs which will serve the full range of 28V aircraft, from Phenoms to SAABs – all without the normal voltage drop or engine bogging (which is incredible if you don’t already know). And most impressive is their new TLD ABS-580 Executive stair truck which features red carpet, wood hand rails, and nearly four-times the capacity of the leading truck mounted stairs for un matched passenger confidence and the making of a first impression that will be impossible to beat.

The team at Million Air has proven they are serious about addressing the growing demands placed on fixed base operations, now and in the future. They are once again setting a new standard of service and luxury with the help of AERO Specialties’ advanced GSE solutions. As demands continue to evolve for customers, AERO Specialties will continue to support those changes in new, more efficient ways, enabling advances in Aerospace to take us all into a new and brighter future.

AERO’s GPU 2400-315 Powers A Brand New Gulfstream G280

When we brought the understated single-phase GPU-2400 315 to Micron’s hangar for their brand-new Gulfstream G280, they didn’t believe it could provide enough continuous power for their new corporate jet – let alone starting power. But they were pleasantly surprised to find that not only did the GPU-2400 315 supply flawless start and continuous power – it did so absolutely silently. Their other GPU was so loud, they had to yell over it anytime it was running in the hangar. Now, they hardly notice this little orange unit powering the plane. It supplied continuous power for over 6 hours without even getting warm, and nobody’s voice was hoarse by the end of the day.

Offering 315 amps of continuous power and 2450 peak starting amps, the GPU 2400-315 is an ideal solution for 28V DC mobile ground power when single-phase input is the only available option. Designed in collaboration with Powervamp and mounted on a heavy-duty trolley with integrated cable storage, this lightweight unit offers robust power and aircraft protection features.

Sheltair opens new FBO in Broomfield, CO.

AERO Specialties has supplied a wide variety of equipment for Sheltair’s new facility in Broomfield, Colorado, including:

General Manager, Mr. Craig Foster and Greg Garghill, Operations Manager, were present for training and commissioning of the equipment by the AERO Specialties team, Rod Gray and Dennis Twohy.

SiPsHitch, AERO’s own patented tow force monitoring system, will be a huge bonus to the operation of the TMX-50 tractor – effectively shrinking the tractor and making it extremely safe to use with smaller aircraft. This truly allows an operator to utilize a tractor capable of towing a Boeing 737 as well as a Cessna 150 and everything in between. The additional benefit of active force protection will be a bonus in the slippery conditions that can often be present at this location during the winter months.

Congratulations to Sheltair for choosing a fantastic location to open a new FBO and our best wishes to the team for what we are sure is to be a success.

AERO Specialties Introduces New JetGo 300 Ground Power Unit

The JetGo 300 is designed to provide continuous power for avionics and to start the engines on all DC turbine and turboprop aircraft. JetGo 300 users benefit from a compact unit, user friendly controls and very low operating costs, with the further advantage of low dBA signature and reduced CO2 emissions. Normally, a diesel GPU four times the size of the JetGo 300 is necessary to deliver the peak amperage for starting large turbines.

No other GPU delivers the versatility and convenience of the JetGo 300. This compact and efficient diesel GPU also provides single phase AC output to enable ground staff to operate vacuum cleaners or other equipment during night servicing.

The JetGo 300 can be fitted with revolutionary features, such as the:

  • Shore Power System: Allows unit to be powered by local power grid. This unique option allows the unit to be run as a rectifier in-hangar without running the motor.
  • Power Boost System: The PBS sustains voltage during the critical initial start sequence on large turboprop aircraft with shaft or free turbine engines, thereby ensuring a fast, cool start while maximising battery life.

AERO’s JetGo GPU Powers F-35 Lightning Jet

AERO Specialties is proud to supply its JetGo ground power units in response to a requirement for powering the complex electrical systems on the latest F-35 Lightening Jets whilst aboard the HMS Queen Elizabeth.

The £3.1bn aircraft carrier welcomed back the F-35 Lightning jets for the second stage of their intensive flying trials. The trials will eventually accumulate an anticipated 500+ take offs and landings.

The goal was to test the aircraft in more challenging wind conditions and to practice the general handling and loading of weapons.

The first of three stages were completed earlier this year and included developmental testing aimed to generate enough flight test data to certify the aircraft was ready for future operational testing aboard the ship.

The third and final developmental test, to include operational testing, is scheduled for 2019. Collectively, the tests will help the Ministry of Defense reach an initial operating capability of the F-35 by 2020.

The JetGo is an extremely compact, full-powered ground power unit (GPU) offering impressive continuous and peak power in addition to sophisticated active aircraft protection systems.

The AERO designed, and manufactured, JetGo GPU will be used to provide clean power to the F-35 whilst on the ship to enable systems checks, software upgrades and GPS programming.

The unit’s lightweight and compact size allows for easy mobility, whether it be across the ramp, the runway…or the Queen Elizabeth Class aircraft carrier!
