At FCS Finland Oy, we believe airplanes are built to fly and not sit on the ground. We are committed to design and build devices and equipment to minimize the maintenance downtime.
Our products are built using the best components and materials available to ensure reliability and quality of the highest standard.
FCS Finland is located in Turku, Finland, where also our manufacturing and assembly happens.
Our products
AFC-22
Our patented product is AFC-22, that is a professional cooling system for aircraft engines. AFC-22 uses non-mechanical vacuum based system for engine attachment and cools down the engine in fraction of the time typically needed. Custom fit nozzles are available for different engine types. AFC-22 enables fast and efficient engine maintenance for our customers and minimizes the aircraft downtime.
AFC-23
AFC-23 Hybrid pushes the infrastructure limits away. Compared to AFC-22, it can be also used without an external power. It has an integrated generator powered by a petrol driven engine. As an alternative method also, an external power can be used. AFC-23 Hybrid was designed based on the feedback given by our customers. In addition to its integrated generator, it has a sturdier undercarriage, improved tow capabilities, and a slimline profile. Now jet engine cooling can be easily performed either at apron or in hangar.
Custom fit
The nozzles are always custom fit for the specific engine type and model. We ensure thus the perfect fit between the nozzle and the engine, granting a stress free use of the AFC-22 and AFC-23.
Less downtime
The AFC-22 and AFC-23 cut the cooling down time of an aircraft engine to it’s fraction. Our customers can make huge cost savings and optimize their fleet with the AFC-22 and AFC-23 cooling as a standard maintenance process.
Engine types
Currently we have adapters available for following jet engine models:
• Rolls-Royce Trent XWB -84
• Rolls-Royce Trent 7000
• Rolls-Royce Trent 1000
• Rolls Royce Trent 800
• CFM International CFM-56-5B
• General Electric CF6-80E
• Leap 1A
• Leap 1B
• IAE V2500
• GE-90 115B
• GEnx
Please contact us for more details.
3D scanner
Our product development and design division uses the latest high-tech tools including 3D scanners and design software to ensure optimal nozzle fit and cooling functionality for each engine type and model.
Contactless measurement
Measurements can be taken during the maintenance slot. Only requirement is to have the engine rear area clear of obstacles. Our 3D laser scanner doesn’t have a physical contact with the engine. Our scanning method provides accurate results. We can trace every detail of the engine exhaust area.
3D laser
scanner
Provides an accurate way to create adapters for all engine types. Virtual fitting can be done during the design phase, without actual fitting at the aircraft. This provides us to have shorter delivery time. 3D design enables complex and accurate shapes for any engine type.
CNC
machining
Our high end CNC machining enables an accurate end result. Seals are cutted by using a computer guided process.
