Company Profile

DHC purchased the Hushkit STCs and inventory from ABS Partnership in December 2003.  DHC operates from the same facilities utilized by ABS (in Reno/Sparks, Nevada), and with the same technical personnel.

ABS was formed in 1988, and together with Pratt & Whitney and McDonnell Douglas, developed and certified Hushkit technologies for the C-9 and the DC-9-10/20/30/40 and 50 series aircraft with maximum takeoff weights ranging from 90,700 pounds to 121,000 pounds.

The first FAA certification flight test was completed 13 September 1990.  The first ABS/DHC Hushkit has been in operation since 3 May 1991. 

 

Over 500 Hushkits have been delivered to DC-9 / C-9 operators all over the world.
