U.S. Air Force selects Chromalloy for F108 gas turbine engine module repairs

Chromalloy has been selected by the U.S. Air Force to provide repairs on low pressure turbine modules for the F108 aircraft engine fleet, in a contract valued at up to US$74m. The one-year agreement was contracted by the Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma and includes four one-year options for additional repairs. The contract covers overhaul of the low pressure turbine shaft assembly, Module 14, during scheduled maintenance events of the F108 engines. Work will be performed at facilities within Chromalloy’s service network. The F108 powers the KC-135 tanker aircraft fleet and RC-135 reconnaissance aircraft.
