Engine Protection02
FLASHPLUG® AIR
Rapid engine protection for intake, bypass, exhaust and preservation applications, designed around the installed engine.
Aircraft-specific maintenance environments, engine protection and controlled workspaces for operations where permanent infrastructure is unavailable, impractical or too slow.
Bring the maintenance environment to the aircraft.J.B. Roche approach
From an engine change on the apron to a temporary controlled workspace or a custom hangar interface, the requirement starts with the aircraft, the task and the operating conditions.
Start with the aircraft and the maintenance task. Geometry, access and environment determine the system.

An A320 engine change in 8°F conditions was completed in six hours using an IglooMX® protected environment, versus an estimated nineteen hours without it.
IglooMX® systems create a protected workspace around the maintenance zone rather than requiring the entire aircraft to be enclosed. Engine, nose, fuselage, wing and specialist access configurations can be developed around the task.
See aircraft maintenance applications →Aircraft-specific pages connect operators directly to the maintenance and protection systems relevant to the fleets they operate.
Aircraft position, access equipment, clearances, building interfaces and environmental requirements define the system.
The strongest argument for the system is the maintenance work customers have already completed with it.
You saved our fingers in Cordova, Alaska — 3 days and 3°F. No injuries.Alaska Airlines · B737 Engine Change Shelter
The job could not have been done without the shelter. It was absolutely essential to have dry conditions.British Midlands · A319 Engine Change Shelter
The mechanics loved it. We changed an HMU at −19°C and snowfall during a full night shift.Air Berlin · A320 Engine Change Shelter
Operational outcomes show where localised maintenance environments can remove weather, access and hangar-capacity constraints.
Engine change completed in 8°F conditions using an IglooMX® protected working environment.
IglooMX® enabled WiFi antenna retrofit work outside the hangar. The published business case achieved return on investment in fewer than four aircraft modifications.
The system is selected or engineered around the aircraft and the maintenance task, with the working environment configured around both.
Tell us the aircraft, maintenance area, access requirement, operating conditions and required date. We’ll match an existing system or engineer one around the job.
