Pall, DART Aerospace to flight test helicopter engine air filtration system

Featuring Pall’s Centrisep technology, the "Fit and Forget" system will be self-cleaning and virtually maintenance free.

“We’re excited and looking forward to the first flight trial on the AS350/EC130 helicopter project and expanding our collaboration with DART to improve engine protection and safety for many other aircraft models,” said Gabriel Popa, vice president, Pall Aerospace Europe. “Recent advances in design technology have enabled us to develop a more efficient Centrisep EAPS with reduced power loss and greater protection for engines.”

Mike O’Reilly, president of DART Aerospace, said: “Having been a helicopter mechanic for over 30 years, I am confident that the new system with redesigned Centrisep technology will deliver unmatched performance. Pall and DART have collaborated to develop a system that will completely redefine engine filtration."
