Radio communication is a salient requirement for all forms of aviation, including general, commercial, and military. This system, which is used to facilitate voice communication, location sending, and ground-based navigation, relies on a complex architecture of electromechanical components, namely antennas. The antennas used on aircraft are variable and specialized in performing specific functions. In this blog, we will discuss the various types of antennas that may be found on common aircraft.

When working with machines, several parts may require quick release features for easy connection and disconnection. If you were to use bolts as a connecting medium for attachment and detachment, you will spend most of your time screwing and unscrewing the bolt, which will impact one’s overall productivity. This is where quick-release pins come into play. Quick-release pins are a great way to hold and release machine parts with ease. These pins allow you to secure and release parts in seconds without the need for additional tools. Once inserted, they will hold the individual part in place, and you can quickly release them by using a quick-release pin adjustment tool. Read more >>

When selecting a fastener, you must take into account your application’s specifications. Versatile in function, there are many types of fasteners, all of which  vary in size, shape, and material composition. In particular, screws are a type of fastener that is made of metal and is characterized by its male thread with helical ridges. This blog will cover hex cap screws which are a type of fastener that have a solid hexagonal head. Read more >>

While electrical circuits are diverse in their design and application, they all share a similar need for an electrical supply system. One of the most commonly implemented electrical supply devices is the distribution board or fuse box. Providing power to homes, commercial locations, and even some aircraft, the fuse box has become ubiquitous in modern circuitry. In this blog, we will discuss the design and function of fuse boxes and how they are implemented in aviation. Read more >>

Over the years, major strides have been made in the aviation industry in regard to technology. In particular, aircraft engines have seen improvements in terms of design, functionality, and performance. More recently, engines have been diversified to suit a wide range of airframes and mechanical systems. With this in mind, this blog will cover aircraft engine types and the models they serve.
