Vector Aerospace has announced investment in new Canadian turboprop test cell

Vector Aerospace Corporation, a global independent provider of aviation maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) services, has announced that it is investing in the addition of a new engine test cell at its Summerside facility in Prince Edward Island, Canada through a financing partnership with provincial and federal governments. This new multimillion dollar test cell, which will be capable of supporting turboprop engines producing up to 5,000 shaft horsepower, will join three existing test stands at Summerside, two dedicated to turboprops and one to turbofans. The new cell will expand Vector’s local test capacity on the turboprop engines series, thus minimizing turn-around times for its customers and allowing further market share growth.
