ST Engineering, the global technology and engineering group in aerospace announced that the company’s Commercial Aerospace business will expand its Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) solutions for the CFM International LEAP-1B engine with test cell support capabilities. The cell support is expected to be ready for operations by end-2023. The decision for expansion into LEAP-1B test cell capability came after the setup of quick-turn services for the LEAP-1B engine in February 2022. ST Engineering has also been awarded the receipt of approval from EASA, FAA and CAAC.
Tay Eng Guan, Vice President and General Manager of Engine Services at ST Engineering, said, “We are excited to increase our engine MRO offerings by developing a high-quality and environmentally-friendly test cell for the LEAP-1B engine. This is another step for us in developing full MRO services for the engine, and we look forward to providing the service to our valued customers by end-2023.”
ST Engineering will work with testing and technology development solutions provider, Calspan Aero System Engineering (Calspan ASE), in setting up LEAP-1B test cell capability at the company’s engine MRO facility in Singapore. ST Engineering’s LEAP-1B test cell will be the first in Asia-Pacific to implement Calspan ASE’s latest technologies.
