A brilliant piece of engineering

he D372 is a 28 V DC 2000 A aircraft ground power unit (GPU) used on smaller aircraft
with piston or turbine engines. It was manufactured locally by Silicon Engineering
Tand has been in service throughout Africa for over 25 years. Airlines and mines use

the D372 to start the aircraft and ensure
there are no ‘hot starts’ on the turbines
which are extremely expensive to repair.
Customers include Airlink, SA Express,
among others. The GPU can be found
at nearly every major and minor airport
in Southern and West Africa. The D372
supersedes the D272.
