Technical Knowledge, Not Content For Content's Sake

Help the maintenance team make a better decision.

The Knowledge Centre brings together the information needed to understand, specify and operate J.B. Roche systems: how shelters are used, what information engineering needs, how interfaces are measured, how products are maintained and what has worked in real aircraft operations.

Find The Answer By Task

Start with what you are trying to do.

The most useful resource is determined by the maintenance problem, not the product name. Use these pathways to get to the right engineering information faster.

01

Plan a maintenance shelter

Understand working-zone selection, equipment clearances, deployment space and environmental inputs before specifying an IglooMX® solution.

02

Specify a bespoke enclosure

For maintenance tasks that do not fit a standard geometry, define the aircraft zone, access equipment, task, working height and operating constraints.

03

Measure a hangar interface

Capture the opening dimensions, door geometry, aircraft position, fuselage profile and available fixings needed to develop an inflatable iris or door interface.

04

Protect or preserve an engine

Understand intake, bypass, exhaust and preservation requirements and identify the aircraft / engine configuration before selecting FLASHPLUG® AIR protection.

Technical Library

Engineering resources that belong here.

Detailed measurement sheets, maintenance procedures and installation guidance are valuable when a user is actively specifying or operating a system. They get their own technical library rather than being squeezed into product-page design.

Guides & Engineering Insight

Useful reading before the RFQ.

These articles should answer common planning questions before an operator needs to send drawings, measurements or a formal requirement.

AOG + MRO

Working without permanent hangar space

How localised maintenance shelters can create protected working capacity directly around the aircraft on the apron or stand.

BESPOKE ENGINEERING

When a standard shelter does not fit the task

Aircraft geometry, working height, local access points, platforms and site restrictions can all drive a bespoke enclosure.

HANGAR INTERFACES

What information does an aircraft / door interface need?

Opening dimensions, framing, aircraft position, fuselage geometry and mounting surfaces form the basis of a usable interface concept.

ENGINE PROTECTION

Protecting the engine between operations

Engine-specific intake and exhaust protection can support FOD control, weather protection and preservation requirements.

CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENTS

Creating a controlled workspace around the repair

Portable positive-pressure, filtered and conditioned space for composite and other process-sensitive maintenance work.
