Parker Aerospace Gets Smarter Pumps
A variety of new design features from Parker Aerospace could help aircraft OEMs improve their designs.

Parker Aerospace is here at FIA 2014 (Hall 4 Stand A18) highlighting a variety of technology developments and improvements in its customer support provisions.

For the business jet market, Parker Aerospace is designing an oil-replenishment system that will let flight crews add oil to engines when maintenance technicians aren’t available to service the engines. The system combines all the components required into one piece of 28V-powered equipment that can be operated from a control panel installed at ground level on the rear fuselage. Pilots can “replenish engine oil in seconds by simply turning a switch and pressing a button,” according to Parker Aerospace.
