The Rolls-Royce AE 3007 engine powers iconic aircraft like the Embraer ERJ-145 and specialized airships such as the Lockheed Martin LMH-1. Maintaining these engines demands equally specialized equipment. Aero Stands’ AE 3007 engine stands solve the unique challenges of handling this engine in unconventional applications, from high-altitude airship pods to compact regional jet hangars. Developed in collaboration with operators like Airship Ventures and ExpressJet, our solutions blend precision engineering with operational adaptability.
Why the AE 3007 Demands Custom Stands
Used in both jets and advanced airships, the AE 3007’s compact design and mounting variations create distinct handling requirements:
| Challenge | Aero Stands’ Solution |
|---|---|
| Variable Pod Heights | Adjustable lift arms (3m–15m range) |
| Dual-Use Configurations | Quick-change adapters for jet/airship mounts |
| Vibration Sensitivity | Anti-resonance dampers (ISO 10816-3 compliant) |
Operator Insight: Q&A with Carlos Rivera, Hangar Lead at SkyLift Airships
“Our AE 3007 engines are mounted 12 meters above ground on the LMH-1. Standard stands couldn’t handle the height or the pod’s curvature. Aero Stands delivered a telescopic system with magnetic alignment guides—reducing engine swap time by 50%.”
Key Features of AE 3007 Engine Stands
Unlike generic stands, our AE 3007-specific designs include:
- Modular Arms: Adjust for nacelle or pod installations
- Hybrid Power Compatibility: Secure both diesel and electric AE 3007 variants
- Weight-Balanced Base: Compensates for airship buoyancy shifts during lifts
Technical Comparison: AE 3007 vs. Conventional Stands
| Specification | AE 3007 Stand | Standard Stand |
|---|---|---|
| Max Load Capacity | 6,200 kg | 4,500 kg |
| Tilt Range | ±25° (for pod access) | ±10° |
| Interface Points | RR AE 3007-Specific Mounts | Generic Clamps |
Case Study: Streamlining ERJ-145 Engine Swaps
When a European regional carrier needed to halve their AE 3007 replacement time, Aero Stands provided:
- Low-profile hydraulic jacks for tight hangar spaces
- Laser-guided alignment for precision mounting
- Integrated tool trays for FADEC diagnostics
Result: Turnaround time reduced from 48 to 22 hours.
