STARTER GEARBOXES
Our state-of-the-art Air Starter is the preferred replacement equipment for the United States Air Force (USAF).
M ated to our improved coupling, Atec now provides the full solution to no-slip, no-bind air starts. The 129-8000-1 Starter Drive Assembly provides a rotational force for starting the F100-PW-100, F100-PW-220E, F100-PW-229 series aircraft engines by compressed air. It is a form, fit, and function replacement for the 103-3018-1 Drive Assembly. It mounts to the gearbox batwing on ground-based thrust stands; for overhead thrust stands we mount the starter on the bellmouth mount assembly.
