Barry Engine Mounts for Air Tractor Aircraft

FAA/PMA Approved Vibration Isolation Mounts | Factory Authorized Distributor

Hutchinson Aerospace Barry Mounts for Air Tractor Agricultural Aircraft

Airpart Supply is an approved factory authorized distributor and stockist for Hutchinson Aerospace, supplying and stocking their industry-leading line of Barry Engine Mounts specifically designed for Air Tractor agricultural aircraft operations. Hutchinson Aerospace (formerly Barry Controls) has been the trusted name in aircraft engine mounting systems since 1943, providing over 80 years of proven expertise in shock, vibration, and noise attenuation solutions. Their FAA/PMA approved Barry Mounts are specifically engineered to isolate turboprop engines from harmful vibrations during demanding agricultural operations. Air Tractor aircraft are renowned for their rugged reliability in agricultural aviation applications worldwide. The AT-402, AT-402A, and AT-402B models are equipped with Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A turboprop engines, which require precision-engineered mounting systems to ensure optimal performance and longevity. These specialized agricultural aircraft operate in challenging conditions including low-altitude spraying operations, frequent takeoffs and landings, and exposure to agricultural chemicals, making reliable vibration isolation critical for both safety and operational efficiency. Our complete range of Hutchinson Aerospace Barry Mounts includes solutions for numerous aircraft manufacturers including Cessna, Piper, Beechcraft, Cirrus, Mooney, and many other general aviation platforms.

Barry Mounts for Air Tractor Aircraft Models

Note: Each Air Tractor AT-402 series aircraft requires three (3) Barry engine mounts per turboprop engine installation. All part numbers listed are FAA/PMA approved and meet or exceed OEM specifications for Air Tractor aircraft.

About Air Tractor AT-402 Series Agricultural Aircraft

The Air Tractor AT-402 family represents a cornerstone of modern agricultural aviation, designed specifically for aerial application operations worldwide. These robust, purpose-built aircraft combine the reliability of Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A turboprop engines with Air Tractor's proven low-wing monoplane taildragger configuration.

The AT-402 was introduced with a 680 shp PT6A-15AG engine, while the AT-402A features a 550 hp PT6A-20 engine as a lower-cost variant, and the AT-402B incorporates revised wingtips with increased wingspan for enhanced performance. All models feature a 400-gallon (1,500-liter) chemical hopper positioned between the engine firewall and cockpit for optimal weight distribution during agricultural spraying operations.

These aircraft demand precision-engineered engine mounting systems to isolate the turboprop powerplant from the airframe, protecting critical avionics, reducing pilot fatigue, and ensuring structural longevity despite the demanding operational environment of low-altitude agricultural applications.

Why Choose Hutchinson Aerospace Barry Mounts?

Proven Heritage & FAA/PMA Approval

Hutchinson Aerospace (formerly Barry Controls) was founded in 1943 and has delivered over 80 years of proven expertise in shock, vibration, and noise attenuation solutions for aerospace applications. All Barry Mounts carry FAA/PMA approval, ensuring they meet or exceed original equipment manufacturer specifications for safety, reliability, and performance in demanding turboprop engine installations.

Advanced Vibration Isolation Technology

Barry Mounts utilize proprietary silicone elastomer compounds developed by Hutchinson's specialized chemists to provide superior vibration damping characteristics. The elastomeric material bonds to precision-engineered metal assemblies, absorbing harmful engine vibrations while maintaining structural integrity and fail-safe operation. This advanced design protects sensitive avionics equipment, reduces metal fatigue in airframe components, and enhances pilot comfort during extended agricultural operations.

OEM Supplier & Industry Trust

Hutchinson Aerospace serves as the OEM supplier to Air Tractor along with other major aircraft manufacturers including Textron Aviation, Gulfstream, Pilatus, Daher-Socata, HondaJet, Boeing, Airbus, and Embraer. This extensive OEM relationship demonstrates the industry's trust in Barry Mounts for both initial aircraft production and aftermarket support, ensuring proven compatibility and long-term reliability.

Superior Design Features

• Robust Construction: Barry isolators spread loads over wider surface areas compared to competitive products, providing enhanced durability in demanding agricultural aviation environments
• No "Jelly Bag" Design: Unlike some competitors, Barry Mounts are engineered without silicone-filled bags that can leak and cause premature failure, ensuring maintenance-free operation
• Molded Rubber Bonding: Specialized molded rubber bonded to center spacers provides torsional stiffness and "soft snub" characteristics for improved vibration control
• Temperature Resilience: Operating temperature range of -65°F to +300°F (-54°C to +149°C) for BTR Silicone ensures reliable performance in extreme agricultural operating conditions
• Extended Shelf Life: Proper storage conditions provide shelf life ranging from 3 to 20+ years depending on elastomer compound, reducing inventory concerns

Cost-Effective Solutions

Barry Mounts deliver exceptional value with several FAA/PMA approved part numbers designed to replace multiple competitors' part numbers. This consolidation reduces inventory requirements while maintaining comprehensive aircraft coverage. Industry price comparisons consistently show Barry Mounts typically cost less than competitive alternatives, providing superior quality at competitive pricing for agricultural operators managing fleet maintenance budgets.
