McTurbine, Inc., located in Corpus Christi since its inception in 1989, was acquired in November 2006 by Hunt Valley, Maryland-based AAI Corporation. AAI Corporation, a subsidiary of United Industrial Corporation (UIC), is a global corporation whose products and services include an array of innovative aerospace and defense technologies. AAI, with approximately 2,500 employees and annual sales of more than $480 million, has been strategically acquiring companies to facilitate its continued growth as a leader of aerospace and defense technologies; McTurbine was one of these strategic acquisitions.

McTurbine is an aerospace industry leader in the maintenance, repair and overhaul of military helicopter engines. Its specialty is repairing and overhauling T53 and T55 turbo-shaft helicopter engines, as well as T53 fuel control units and governors. The T53 turbo-shaft engine is the power plant for the Bell Helicopter UH-1 "Huey" as well as the AH-1 "Cobra", Huey II, the Bell/Augusta 204/205 and the Kaman K-Max helicopter. The T55 turbo-shaft engine powers the Boeing CH-47 "Chinook" and the Bell 214B.

In addition to repairing and overhauling the T53 and T55 engines, McTurbine is also equipped and certified to perform a variety of general aviation-related functions such as an automated test cell, non-destructive testing, complex machining, flow testing, pneumatic testing, bench testing of components and accessories.

McTurbine is an authorized Honeywell and Goodrich Service Center and holds the following quality system approvals:

FAA part 145 Repair Station number MCWR362K
ISO 9001-2000 Registered
EASA (European Aviation Authority) Approved

In May 2006, McTurbine received a Certificate of Appreciation from the U. S. State Department’s Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs, for its efforts in meeting an accelerated schedule required to deliver Huey II helicopters to Afghanistan.

Since the 2006 ownership change, McTurbine has moved into its new 40,000 square foot facility on Junior Beck Drive. The new larger facility has two enclosed test cells and a much better process flow layout that will allow McTurbine to increase its production capacity in order to better meet the increased demand for its services.
