AgustaWestland Boosts MRO With Transmission Test Stand
The new gearbox test stand is installed at AgustaWestland’s Philadelphia, Pa. facility.

AgustaWestland has expanded its helicopter maintenance, repair and overhaul support for operators in the Americas by installing a new transmission test stand at its U.S. facility in Philadelphia, Pa. The new stand can be used for testing intermediate and tail rotor gearboxes.

The equipment, which has been provided by RedViking, can test the transmissions of all AgustaWestland helicopters currently in service in the Americas, including the AW109, AW119, AW139 and AW189. It will also be able to support the AW169.
