Air Start Unit MSU 200V. Rheinmetall Landsysteme supplies the most powerful gas turbine driven air start units worldwide

AIR START UNITS MSU 200/400

Rheinmetall Landsysteme supplies the most powerful gas turbine driven air start units worldwide. The MSU 200 and MSU 400 models can start all modern aircraft engines such as:
  • GE90
  • PW 4000
  • Rolls-Royce Trent

The heart of the unit is a gas turbine power head manufactured by Hamilton Sundstrand Power Systems. This power head is a derivate of the one used in the APS 2000/2100, the APU in service since 1991 with the Boeing 737, which has also been selected as the APU for the Boeing 717.

Rheinmetall Landsysteme has developed all other major components such as the gearbox, FADEC and the fuel control. These meet all customer requirements for professional ramp operation.

BACK-UP AIRCRAFT ENGINE STARTERS AND AIR-CONDITIONING POWER

Two modules form the MSU 400 which is available as a stand alone version or mounted on a Mercedes Benz 509 CDI or other comparable chassis according to the customer's requirements. The modules can be operated in parallel or separately.

The MSU 400 V supplies sufficient air to all existing aircraft.

All field units have proven their function and reliability as back-up starters for main aircraft engines, and as power sources for the onboard air packs.

Unlimited full power operation of an aircraft's air conditioning system (ACS) is possible.
