Wilber and Orville were the first people who flew an aircraft over the coast of North Carolina. Since childhood we human being dream of flying and specially when we see birds flying. This urge of flying led to the invention of an airplane. Airplane is an essential and important aspect of airways but there are other crucial aspects responsible for the flying of an aircraft. One such important aspect is aircraft engine stands. As the engine of an aircraft is very huge and complex in size, so it is very difficult to move it from one place to another, specially in the case when there is some technical error in it. The displacement of an aircraft engine by the workforce of labor is impossible. Therefore, aircraft engine stands are very important as they are meant to move the engine from one destination to another and that too safely. Aircraft engine stands consists of two main elements which is cradle, the beginning of an engine stand and the other one is wheeled transportation base. The cradle is designed to hold and assist the engine and is being fit into the wheeled transportation base, which further aids to the transportation of an aircraft engine. Whenever an aircraft engine is removed from its place, then it is always settled on the engine stand and is even imported back in the same way. Whenever the engine is removed from an aircraft, it is always placed on the engine stand and is imported in the same manner. During the mending process, the engine stood along with the engine is pulled by a forklift or sometimes through a small truck to the right area and then the engine is removed from the engine stand and put all together for the repair work.

There is a huge range of engines such as piston engine, jet airplane engine and turbo engine etc and engine stands available like Trent 800 engine stand, Trent 700 engine stand, cfm56-3 engine stand, cfm56-5 engine stand (cfm56-5a engine stand, cfm56-5b engine stand, cfm56-5c engine stand), v2500 engine stand, cf6-80c2 engine stand etc. These engine stands are being used for different engines as :

PISTON ENGINES : The usage of piston engines in modern-day aircrafts is mostly confined to private individual engine aircraft and twin engine aircraft. The piston engines in private aircraft are very cost-effective and telling for repair and buying purpose.

JET AIRPLANE ENGINE : The primary jet airplane engine has a frontal compressor area that squeezes the cold air. The compressed air is then made to run from a combustion enclosure where the addition of fuel takes place and it is then heated and ignited. A modern jet engine also has a fan area and even there the same process is preceded.

TURBO PROP ENGINES : Turboprop engines has a turbine hot region which twist a propeller or rotor coil. The guts of a turboprop engine are identical as that in a jet airplane engine. The best example of turbo prop engine is helicopter.
