Abstract: A gas turbine engine fan stand including a base frame and a fan case frame coupled together at one edge by a hinge. The fan case frame is arranged to: rotate about the hinge between abutting the base frame and substantially perpendicular thereto; and tilt about a yaw axis perpendicular to the hinge and in the plane of the fan case frame. The fan case frame further including a coupling arrangement arranged to rotate about a roll axis and to couple a fan case to the fan case frame. A gas turbine engine stand assembly including a fan stand and a core stand. A method of splitting a gas turbine engine and a method of reassembling a gas turbine engine.
