In the realm of aviation, the meticulous care and maintenance of light aircraft are paramount. This is not merely a procedural task, but a critical aspect that ensures the safety, longevity, and optimal performance of these aerial vehicles. Light aircraft maintenance is a multifaceted process, essential for the well-being of both the machine and those who rely on it. Read more >>

In manufacturing, it is easy to underestimate the importance of seemingly insignificant components like rolled rings. Yet, these circular structures are indispensable in a multitude of applications, particularly in the maritime industry. Whether it is for rail tires, flanges, bearings, gears, valve seats, ring gaskets, or coupling systems, rolled rings play a vital role in ensuring the seamless operation of various marine equipment. In this blog, we will dive into the function of rolled rings to unravel their paramount importance in the maritime sector. Read more >>

Particularly useful when people need access to places with tricky terrain and no runways available for a plane to take off or land, helicopters were first developed by Igor Sikorsky (1889-1972) in 1939. These incredibly complex machines use aerodynamic force to oppose weight and maneuver through the atmosphere with the help of a number of vital components. Read more >>

Aircraft feature numerous structures that regulate different components necessary for their operation. For example, aviation hydraulic systems assist planes while they take off, fly, and land. Though pneumatic systems may also be used, aviation hydraulic systems tend to be popular because they are far more reliable than any alternative, and they offer an ideal amount of pressure for particular aircraft operations. As such, they are used to operate aircraft equipment like the brakes, thrust reversers, flight controls, and landing gear. Moreover, hydraulic systems are preferred for their tendency to use non-compressible liquids, meaning that they do not cause a delay in movement, as is the case for pneumatic systems. The following article will explore hydraulic systems and the advantages of using them. Read more >>

Marine diesel engines are internal combustion engines that use heavy fuel oil and compressed air to generate power. Within the larger system, the main engine is used for propulsion while the auxiliary engine generates electricity for the ship. Additionally, marine diesel engines work on the principle of the dual combustion cycle; similar to engines used in many modern cars, this may include a four-stroke cycle involving intake, compression, power, and exhaust. However, due to the combustive nature of heavy fuel oil used in diesel engines, the combustion cycle may also be confined to two strokes wherein the compression of hot air and diesel fuel is enough to cause the mixture to self-ignite.  Read more >>
