Crane Aerospace & Electronics recently named CRS Jet Spares as the authorized distributor to the business and regional jet market for Crane's SmartStem Wireless Tire Pressure Systems. The system can be retrofitted to Boeing, Bombardier and Gulfstream aircraft, and Boeing has approved SmartStem installation on 737NG Boeing Business Jets via an amended type certificate. Crane has also received FAA, Transport Canada and European Aviation Safety Agency STCs to install SmartStem on a variety of Bombardier and Gulfstream aircraft.

“Aviation authorities have acknowledged the important role that regular tire pressure checks play in aviation safety. SmartStem is broadly recognized as a cost-effective tool for making tire pressure checks easier and more accurate for business and regional jets," said Rick Jones, senior vice president of sensing and utility systems at Crane Aerospace & Electronics. "With some tens of thousands of these aircraft in service, business and regional jet operators are an important part of our overall aftermarket business.”
