BAe Jetstream 31 And 32 Products

DeVore manufactures a modified upgrade of standard BAe Jetstream 31 and 32 landing gear door assemblies. These ruggedized doors provide greater reliability and can withstand greater in-flight loads than the factory standards over a much longer period of time. Over 150 Gear Door Assemblies have been modified and have been in service for years without a single failure.

DeVore's mission of solving costly Jetstream 31 & 32 maintenance problems began in 1990 when we offered new main landing gear doors for the Jetstream 31 & 32 for under $8,000. and replacement doors for less than $4,000. Then in 1991, we began an upgrade repair program for the plane's nose gear side doors. In 1992, DeVore developed a replacement ACM airscoop with a stainless steel intake.

Among the airlines currently using DeVore products for the Jetstream are: Westair (United Express), Jetstream International (USAir Express), Ontario Express (Canadian Partner), Atlantic Cost Airlines (United Express), Express Airlines 1 (Northwest Airline), Simmons Airlines (AMR Eagle), CCAir (USAir Express), TWExpress and Flagship Airlines (AMR Eagle).
