Engineering Excellence - Every Kelly Aerospace starter line reveals true aviation design/development and are capable of being maintenance free to your Lycoming engine's TBO... and beyond. Each of our aircraft starters provide High Torque, Low Inrush & Operating Current Draw, and a Superior Duty Cycle. Along with major weight savings from the old Prestolite heavyweights, the new Kelly Aerospace starters are suitable for installation on all Lycoming engines without modification. Design & Source Control on All Components - Kelly Aerospace believes in engineering products specifically for the aviation industry and has design and source control over all components. Absolutely no automotive aftermarket parts are used. Why trust a part supplied from the automotive market where design details frequently change? Duty Cycle Reliability - Our duty cycle limitation exceeds other starter designs by over 40%. Kelly Aerospace starters achieve improved duty cycle results in lower operational temperatures, thus a longer starter life. Bottom line this means more starts, lower maintenance, and less cost!

We know Performance is the most important aspect to evaluating your new starter. The important key measurements in assessing a starter's performance are engine Cranking Speed (rpm), electric Current Draw (amps), and Duty Cycle. We compare the E-drive with Sky-tec's 147-NL.
Take a look at how misleading the competition presents "High Torque or Fabulous Spin", when actually the current draw from spinning too fast causes excessive overheating, increases kickback frequency, may disengage impulse couplings, and leads to fewer starts due to voltage drop!

There is no longer a need to replace overload devices (shear pins) after a kick-back event. The E-drive is unaffected by kick-backs saving hours of service time and replacement costs. The engine and starter are both protected by a proprietary torque limiting clutch drive design.
Our Printed Circuit Board (PCB) solenoid controller uses the latest in Surface Mount Technology (SMT) components. Each control is environmentally hardened and tested under the most extreme conditions. The field serviceable unit eliminates mechanical contacts for improved reliability and longer life. Monitoring the health status of the engine, starter, battery, and operational duty cycle will soon become a reality through enhancements to our proprietary solenoid control system.
