AEI licenses MD-80 engineering data for Freighter Conversion

Aeronautical Engineers, Inc. (AEI), has finalized an agreement to license Boeing engineering data to develop MD-80 passenger-to-freighter conversions. AEI will become a Supplemental Type Certificate holder for MD-81, MD-82, MD-83 and MD-88 Passenger to Freighter Conversions. As an STC holder, working with licensed Boeing engineering data, AEI customers will now be eligible for access to Boeing technical support at reduced costs compared with freighters converted without data licensed from Boeing.
