QTA Kit Fitted To Gulfstream IIB
Business Jet Technologies announced Wednesday its 60th Quiet
Technology Aerospace Stage 3 Hush Kit installation was recently
completed on Gulfstream IIB business jet, serial number 16. Now
free to access airports with Stage 2 noise abatement restrictions,
the aircraft equipped with the QTA kit will also provide passengers
with a quieter cabin than ever before.
Business Jet Technologies co-developed the design and jointly
markets the QTA Stage 3 Hush Kit worldwide. The FAA awarded QTA
with a Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) in January 2003 that
authorizes the installation of the QTA Stage 3 Hush Kit on all
Spey-powered Gulfstream aircraft. Now with 60 installations, the
QTA Stage 3 Hush Kit is available today for Gulfstream II, IIB,
IISP and III aircraft and more than 30% of all the installations to
date have been with Gulfstream II and IIB models.
"Our success is attributed to a simple lightweight design that
works with the existing thrust reversers," said Kevin Jordan,
co-developer and President of Business Jet Technologies. "There is
no additional maintenance required because all inspections coincide
with the aircraft’s existing thrust reverser schedule," added
Jordan, "and the best part for our customers is we can install it
in 10 days or less at the facility of their choice!"
As noise restrictions continue to increase at an alarming rate,
Stage 2 operations into many airports worldwide are heavily
impacted. The QTA Stage 3 Hush Kit allows these aircraft to access
any airport a Gulfstream IV does and at a fraction of the cost that
it would take to upgrade to an aircraft in this category. Noise
compliance for the QTA Stage 3 Hush Kit meets CFR 14, FAR 36 Stage
3 and ICAO Annex 16 Chapter 3.
The company states fuel burn performance, overall range and
handling are not impacted with the QTA Stage 3 Hush Kit
installation. Passengers also benefit from the dramatically reduced
cabin noise during take-off, climb and cruise through the
installation of a specially designed and acoustically treated
engine inlet bullet.
