Duncan Aviation has permanently loaned a Honeywell TFE731 engine as an instructional aid to the aviation and technology department at a local high school.

Looking to help foster the next generation of aircraft technicians, Duncan Aviation has placed a Honeywell TFE731 engine on permanent loan to the aviation program at Lincoln North Star High School, near the MRO’s Nebraska headquarters.

The engine—which powers a variety of legacy business aircraft, including the Learjet 70/75, Dassault Falcon 900, and Gulfstream G150—was originally intended to be used as a training aid for the company’s apprentice program at its Provo, Utah location. After a shift in workforce development strategy at that location, the engine became surplus. Rather than let it go unused, Duncan’s technical education center team found a new home for the engine—one where it will be used to help the local community.
