TURBINE POWERED AIR START

FOR COMMERCIAL AND MILITARY PURPOSES

Rheinmetall manufactures Air Start Units (ASU) for commercial and military purposes to start all main engines of today’s and tomorrows generation of aircraft up to the most demanding B777-300ER and A380. The Rheinmetall MSU family of ASU has proven its reliability since 1996.

Rheinmetall eMSU – The first fully electric ASU on the market

Rheinmetall eMSU — the world’s first all-electric air start unit. It fully charges in 1 to 2 hours when plugged into a DC charger with a high voltage connection (800VDC) or up to 5 to 6 hours when plugged into a 25 kW AC charging station. The eMSU requires very low maintenance and is designed to thrive in harsh conditions. This fully electric air start unit which is operated through a touchscreen panel, requires no warm-up or cool-down phase. Easy to operate, it is the greenest ASU solution on the market.

Rheinmetall MSU 200

Rheinmetall MSU 200 keeps commercial aircraft running on time with the only turbine-powered air start unit. Easy to use, the Rheinmetall MSU 200 is powered by gas turbine engines, unique in their class. This ASU has a service life of over 20 years and is virtually maintenance free. With a short runtime of only 6 minutes per start and no need for a cool-down phase, fuel consumption is minimal. The Rheinmetall MSU 200 demonstrated efficiency in any climate conditions and his compact size makes it easier to operate and store.

Rheinmetall MSU-GP

Rheinmetall MSU-GP is an air start unit built with integrated ground power — the only one of its kind. As the only turbine powered ASU, it is lighter to deploy and more compact than a diesel engine unit. It’s proven across the globe in extreme weather environments. An integrated ground power, means 2-for-1: it saves critical space with both a bleed air and electrical power supply in a single unit, while improving cost effectiveness. This ASU offers a fuel flexibility and an adaptable design to meet the user’s specific requirements. Easy to handle with is compact size the Rheinmetall MSU-GP is a workhorse.
