Chennai, India – August 2023 – A revolutionary Turborator system for jet engine starting was successfully demonstrated at Chennai Airport and Hakimpet Airforce Station, Hyderabad, showcasing a more efficient, lightweight, and eco-friendly alternative to traditional Ground Power Units (GPUs) for both private jets and defence jets.
Key Performance Highlights:
✅ Battery-Powered Efficiency: The Turborator utilized two battery configurations—29.4V, 1600Ah (47.04 kWh) and 29.4V, 150Ah (4.41 kWh)—to deliver a powerful 1600Ah surge for 3 seconds, successfully cranking the jet engine.
✅ Ultra-Lightweight Design: Weighing only 28 kg, the Turborator is a game-changer compared to conventional 1400 kg GPUs.
✅ Fuel Savings & Environmental Impact: A standard GPU consumes at least 4 liters of diesel per engine start, significantly increasing ground emissions. The Turborator eliminates fuel dependency, offering a clean, silent, and efficient alternative.
Revolutionizing Aircraft Ground Operations
This successful test confirms that the Turborator can provide a cost-effective, portable, and sustainable solution for private jets and defence jets. By reducing reliance on fuel-powered GPUs, this technology supports the aviation industry’s push toward greener and more efficient ground operations.
Following this breakthrough demonstration, further testing and implementation plans are underway to integrate the Turborator into airport and air force station operations.
