There are a number of collaborations and preparations carried out for helicopters that are assembled at Leonardo Elicotteri's facility in Tessera, Italy. “In fact, along with the whole team of Brindisi technicians, Avio Aero also works at the military bases of the customer end user, or at airports around the world,” explained Claudio Stefanelli, a lead technical services specialist at Avio Aero, a GE Aviation business.

In this special Veteran’s Day installation of Quick Six, The Bike Shop sat down with Dr. Michael Lappi, GE Aviation’s global medical director. Lappi, who is currently a Captain in the United States Naval Reserves, has nearly 20 years of combined active duty and reserve experience.

The end users of GE Aviation's products have a unique job. They are serving in their country’s military to protect its citizens. As the number of threats in the world increase, pilots need to fly farther while carrying more cargo and using less fuel. The engines they use need to be reliable and easy to maintain. It sounds like a tall order, but GE has a long history of providing our warfighters with the capability they need!

The Avio Aero site in Brindisi, Italy is home to one of the longest-running specialist centers for aircraft service support activities. Here, a team of technical support specialists and operators, highly experienced in the maintenance and repair of large aero-derivate turbines and military aircraft engines, carry out services on helicopter engines from the General Electric T700 family, which are fitted on the helicopter fleets of Italy’s Navy, Army and Airforce.

The venerable CT7/T700 family has proven a reliable engine partner for helicopter pilots for decades. Soon it will branch out to power a new breed of aircraft with non-cockpit operators.
