Aviation Customer List

TUTCO SureHeat provides advanced electric air preheating solutions for hypersonic wind tunnels and aerospace research facilities. Featuring patented Serpentine™ heating technology, these custom-engineered systems deliver rapid heat-up, precise temperature control, and chemically clean airflow at temperatures up to 1,100°C. Designed for demanding high-pressure applications, SFI heaters support accurate, repeatable testing for hypersonic flight research, propulsion development, and thermal protection systems.

This article explores how electric process heating supports emerging e-fuels and Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) production technologies. It discusses the growing demand for low-carbon aviation fuels and the role of precise, high-temperature heating in conditioning hydrogen, CO₂, and syngas streams prior to fuel synthesis. The story highlights how TUTCO SureHeat Specialty Flanged Inline (SFI) heaters provide combustion-free thermal input, fast response times, accurate temperature control, and scalable solutions for pilot plants and commercial fuel production facilities. Additional sections cover thermal conditioning for Reverse Water Gas Shift (RWGS) reactions, flexible heater integration, and why electric heating is increasingly preferred in modern e-fuels manufacturing environments.

High-performance electric air heaters for combustion research, delivering rapid heat-up, precise temperature control, and reliable operation for high-temperature, high-pressure testing applications.

TUTCO SureHeat specialty flanged inline heaters are used by the aerospace industry for the testing of valves employed throughout aircrafts. OEM manufacturers use our heaters to simulate the high heat and high-pressure compressed air that powers critical applications through the aircraft.

TUTCO SureHeat specialty flanged inline heaters play a vital role in the maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) operations conducted at FAA repair stations. Our heaters provide the high-temperature, high-pressure solutions essential for testing pneumatic aerospace components—a critical and precise application in the aerospace industry.

TUTCO SureHeat offers electric air heaters tailored to specific wind-tunnel segments: aerospace, defense, propulsion, universities, and R&D.They feature fast ramp rates from ambient to 600C in 10 seconds, replacing gas fired heaters in wind tunnel applications.

We worked with the largest US manufacturer of turbo fan engines to build massively powerful electric air heaters for a Unit Under Test at a combustion research facility. This was part of a large scale facility upgrade that would span many years.
