ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed towards an aircraft engine testing tool which facilitates the visual inspection of aircraft internal engine blades by permitting the automatic repositioning of the internal engine blades to an inspection orientation. The aircraft engine testing tool includes a power driver structured to selectively and in a precisely controlled manner turn internal engine and which includes a gear down assembly that produces substantial amounts of low speed torque, and a gear spline connected to the gear down assembly and structured to rotate at substantially low speeds in accordance with the low speed torque produced by the gear down assembly. A mounting plate secures the gear spline operatively within an aircraft engine gear socket such that the low speed rotation of the gear spline results in a corresponding rotation of a plurality of the internal engine gears of an aircraft engine's constant speed drive and therefore the internal engine blades. The aircraft engine testing tool further comprises a processor unit structured to receive a power supply and provide for regulated and controlled power and directional output to the power driver, from a remote location, thereby facilitating precise control of the direction and speed of the low speed rotation of the gear spline and therefore the internal engine blades.
