UH-60 Air Turbine Starter

The Honeywell UH-60 Air Turbine Starter delivers a major upgrade in performance and reliability for operators seeking to improve mission readiness and reduce lifecycle costs. With more than 4,000 hours of mean time between failures (MTBF), this next-generation starter is five times more reliable than previous -6/-9 models and requires no aircraft modification for installation. Enhanced features include a new 10-sprag clutch, a crescent oil pump for improved lubrication, and a quick-drain oil valve that enables servicing without removing the starter from the aircraft.

Operators benefit from lower maintenance man hours, no risk of oil overfilling, and improved containment features. The system also delivers a 14% increase in light-off torque, which is critical in challenging environmental conditions. These design advancements provide significant gains in safety, uptime, and operational efficiency.

S3 AeroDefense is the exclusive worldwide distributor of Honeywell’s UH-60 Air Turbine Starter and supports all qualified drop-in replacements approved under US Army Aviation Maintenance Action Message H-60-21-AMAM-10.
