When it comes to modern electromechanical systems, slip rings are crucial components in assemblies that require reliable transmission of electrical signals or power while facilitating rotating motion. Found in diverse industries from aerospace to robotics, these connectors enable continuous 360-degree rotation without tangling or wearing out wires, driving their popularity. In this guide, we will explore how slip rings work, introduce the different types available, and discuss their applications across various fields. Read more >>
Engine ignition leads are used to power spark plugs for prominent commercial assemblies— the Rolls Royce Trent 1000 utilized by Boeing B787’s, Rolls-Royce Trent 900 engine integrated on the Airbus A380, and Pratt & Whitney PW2000 engines all incorporate some type of ignition leads. Spark plugs allow combustion within the ignition system but transferring current across a spark plug gap wouldn’t be possible without ignition leads. Read more >>
Most car owners know of spark plugs because they’re a common engine component that often needs to be replaced and are integral for an engine to work. Without them, the engine will not start. The electrical energy from the plugs is used to create a spark, which ignites the fuel-air mixture in the combustion chamber. Read more >>
Automatic direction systems serve a fairly simple purpose— locate, and point, in the direction of an NDB signal. Non-directional beacons (NDBs) are used for anything from Morse code broadcasts to voice interfaced communication to inform pilots about weather conditions. They communicate important information directly to the automatic direction finder (ADF). Simple enough, right? Let’s take a look at how an ADF accomplishes this functionality using
It’s easy to neglect the little things like choosing the proper hose assembly in favor of focusing on bigger things like an engine. But, like with all things in aerospace and aviation, choosing the proper components for your hose assembly can make the difference between smooth operations or malfunctions. Read more >>
One of the most important parts of an aircraft is the actuator or actuating cylinder. Actuating cylinders transform energy in the form of fluid pressure into mechanical force, imparting powered linear motion to some movable object or mechanism. Read more >>
Modern air travel is made possible through a series of complex aviation systems and safety mechanisms that are designed to ensure aircraft operate reliably under all circumstances. One such crucial component is the Auxiliary Power Unit (APU), which is a system specifically engineered to bolster engine redundancy and provide power support when it is needed most. While APUs do not contribute directly to propulsion, they play a critical role in maintaining essential aircraft functions during various phases of flight. Read more >>
Airplane landing tires are made to withstand hitting the tarmac at speeds of 170 mph, with a weight load of about 38-tons, and can tolerate about 500 landings before needing a re-tread. Contrary to common beliefs, airplane tires are NOT going to explode if given a little too much air. Read more >>
For any aircraft, a continuous and reliable supply of fuel to the engine is an essential requirement for flight. While some small aircraft may depend solely on gravity to move fuel from tanks to the engine, most modern aircraft require one or more fuel pumps to deliver fuel under pressure, regulate flow, and uphold operational safety in all conditions. This blog will explore the different variations of fuel pumps, as well as dive into general details about how they are designed to suit various aircraft types. Read more >>
Across generations, airplane propellers have been produced and manufactured to aid planes in one way or another. Blades come in diverse shapes, sizes, configurations, colors, you name it and there is most likely a blade that fits your criteria. Read more >>
