Fasteners are mechanical components used to join two or more objects. While other methods of joining exist, such as welding, brazing, adhesives, crimping, and more, many of these are examples of permanent joints. Fasteners form non-permanent joints and can be easily removed. Threaded fasteners are particularly effective at joining two objects thanks to their headed design. Threaded fasteners feature either internal or external screw threads, are easy to install, and just as easy to remove. The three most common types of threaded fasteners are screws, nuts, and bolts. In this blog, we will explain each of them, their unique characteristics, and their uses.

Some people will automatically associate aircraft cable with being a type of wire rope that is utilized for the aircraft industry. Essentially that’s true as they can be applied from including adjustable seat back controls to controlling the movement of the wing flaps and landing gear on planes with analog flight systems. The aircraft wire cables can be described as specialized high strength wire rope that is designed to withstand the special environmental circumstances found on a flying vessel.

Every winter holds the risk of your carburetor overheating. To be exact, it's not the freezing of the carburetor that happens, rather it's the ice developing on the dividers of the diffuser. Too much ice prevents the carburetor from properly functioning and can even prevent you from opening it up for inspection and maintenance. There is basically so much ice that it drastically changes the size of the evaporator and the entryway can't be shut. The solution to this is to expand the gas. Fuel is gasified in the carburetor diffuser and hence the cooling happens. In the event that there is an excess of ice on the diffuser divider, the carburetor's properties change so much that it can't convey enough blend to the motor and it stops. For a detailed look on this, read the article below.

While many are aware of much of the aircraft equipment and systems that provide for propulsion, flight, and safety, the APU (Auxiliary Power Unit) remains a fairly underappreciated component. The APU is a device that provides energy for vehicle functions that are not related to propulsion, and they are very common across large aircraft. In this blog, we will discuss the APU in more detail, as well as its importance to various aircraft operations.

One of the most critical components in an aircraft, the propeller, is an aviation part that is not only responsible for giving its vessel a thrust capability, but it is also one of the pieces that weathers the most wear and tear. Because of the speed that they move at and the weight that is attached to them, the propellers are often at risk of sustaining serious damage after each flight. If not properly maintained and cared for, that risk is doubled. Because it is so vital to the aircraft and because they must endure frequent use, it’s important to implement enough care and maintenance for your vessel. Below you can find some tips and tricks to help you adhere to flight safety by providing great care to your aircraft propeller.

It is common for pilots flying commercial or private aircraft to use manual flight controls, but there is a much safer and less costly alternative. This alternative is known as the “fly-by-wire” method. The fly by wire is a system that replaces manual flight control and operates with an electronic interface. What this means is that all flight control movements are transformed into electronic signals that are produced by wires. Flight control computers are then used to determine how to move triggers like the actuator at each control surface.

Once flight is achieved, aircraft flight controls give a pilot the ability to direct an aircraft. In this article, we will go over primary flight control and secondary flight control systems to give an overview of how flight control systems accomplish aerial navigation. Aircraft flight control systems are comprised of aircraft control surfaces, cockpit controls, connecting linkages and various operating mechanisms such as flaperon parts, bellcranks, pulleys and cables.

While flying is an exceedingly safe means of travel, aircraft manufacturers have to expect the unexpected. Even in the event of total engine failure, aircraft can glide for impressive distances. However, in order to land the aircraft safely, a power source is needed to operate the flight controls. This is where ram air turbines (RATs) come in. RAT systems, a product of Hamilton Sundstrand, can provide emergency power in the event of engine, hydraulic, or electrical failure. Available in hydraulic, electric, and hybrid models, RATs have become a standard of backup systems in modern day aircraft whether it be business, regional, large commercial jets, or military.

If you own a small or large private airline company, then you will need to rely on a responsible crew to handle all aspects involved with FBO. FBO refers to fixed base operators, or the organization that is granted the right by the airport to provide services like fueling, hangaring, tie-down and parking, aircraft rental, and other services on the aircraft. Overall they provide various services depending on the demand from the airport and its base.

An aircraft propellor is extremely pertinent to its ability to fly, transforming rotational energy into propulsion and thrust that drives the vehicle forward. Variable pitch propellers are a special type of propeller that allows for the change of the blade angle during flight, opening up new abilities to increase performance. In this blog, we will provide a short overview of the functionality of variable pitch propellers, as well as their benefit to the aircraft they are fitted on.
