Abstract:Engine trailers are important aircraft support equipments and process equipments, which are used to install
& remove engines and load & transport large aircraft components. They play very important roles in aircraft maintenance
& flight test. Engine trailers of modern jet fighters are complicated equipments, which are made of some mechanisms and
system. This article is based on elaborate study of massive foreign engine traler samples. Development of engine trailers is
reviewed firstly. Then engine trailer technology is summarized and anylasized prominently, the included content as follows:
design requirement & coordinated design, design feature, structure composition, link mechanism key technology, standardization
universalization & serialization, trend of technology development. Advance engine trailer design samples are analysized
subsequently. Finally, summary and forecast are given.
