Welding is a process of joining metals through melting parts together with high heat, and it has quickly become of the most popular forms of fusing metals together across many industries. Welding can be very cost efficient, and often produces strong metal bonds that serve well for many applications. While many major parts of an aircraft utilize fasteners for conjoining, welding still proves extremely beneficial to much of the construction. As aircraft welding and manufacturing processes have improved, new techniques have been made to conjoin different materials. In the present, the most popular forms of aircraft welding are gas, electric arc, and electric resistance welding. Read more >>

As the typical commercial aircraft often operates at altitudes ranging from 31,000 to 38,000 feet, they require an apparatus that is capable of increasing air density to match that of sea level. This is because more dense air provides for better fuel air mixtures, enabling optimal combustion and propulsion for flight. To create denser oxygen, aircraft rely on the compressor. Read more >>

In any engine, whether it’s an engine for a small automobile or for a large jet aircraft, it’s important to learn the signs of fuel related issues that may be affecting performance. Fuel is an important factor in your engine running efficiently and thus crucial for the performance of your vessel. There are various reasons that could cause problems with your fuel, but below we will briefly discuss the most common problems that occur for people working in aviation. As you’ll read on below, these include hiccups in the engine’s fuel pumps and problems that arise from having faulty fuel. Read more >>

Fuel oil has many various uses for both business and the home. Such examples of ways to use fuel are lighting up the engine for a vehicle, heating up a home, producing steam to generate electrical energy, etc. Fuel, which can also go by the names of home heating oil, kerosene, coal oil, and diesel fuel, is produced from liquids that are burnable and that are derived from crude oil. It can be used to power engines, heaters, stoves, lanterns and more.  Read more >>

When people think of diesel engines, they often compare them with the standard gasoline engine and picture a sootier and noisier engine. While diesel has the advantage and capabilities to haul large shipments over long distances, this tendency to produce more smoke and noise turns the majority of consumers off. Not only that but they have become strongly associated with trucks and large vehicles. Overall diesel engines are more efficient and thanks to advancements in technology, are steadily more cleaner and less noisier. In this article, we will look closely at diesel engine parts and their various functions. Read more >>
