Most people have heard of top aviation parts manufacturers like Boeing and Lockheed Martin. Despite more well-known companies, these two make up just a fraction of the major aerospace manufacturers whose work keeps our aircraft flying smoothly. This blog will list the twelve top aviation parts manufacturers and provide a bit of information about each of them.
If you are assembling an LED installation, performing support systems on existing apparatuses, or buying LED lights, you might need a constant-voltage power supply or a steady constant-current LED for appropriate LED operations. There are various aspects that ought to be reviewed while selecting a power supply or a driver or power source gracefully. The article below should assist you with picking the correct power hotspot for your necessities.
Solid state drives, otherwise called an SSD, are data storage devices that store data with the use of flash memory. They are referred to as “solid state” because they do not use any moving parts for their operations, as compared to hard disk drive (HDD) units. While HDDs have dominated the market for secondary data storage since their inception, the rise of solid state drives has begun to upset that reign with increased capabilities and performance. While there are both defenders of HDDs and SSDs as the best and most viable option, it can be difficult for some to decide if the upgrade to SSDs is worth it. In this blog, we will discuss the advantages and disadvantages to owning a solid state drive to help you in your purchasing decision.
Oftentimes, the accelerometer of aircraft may be confused with the operations of tilt sensors. Some even assume that an accelerometer can be used in place of a tilt sensor. This confusion between the two instruments is due to some overlapping functionality that each device provides. Nevertheless, accelerometers and tilt sensors are different components that each provide their own capabilities, and understanding these differences is important for correct utilization. In this article, we will discuss the differences between an accelerator and tilt sensor, and the operational functionality of each.
MOSFET (metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors) and BJT (bipolar junction transistors) are two very effective power switching applications in electronics with unique qualities. Despite this, no electrical component is perfect, and both MOSFET and BJT have significant limitations. For instance, MOSFET is inefficient in blocking high reverse voltages and has very high on-state power dissipation and voltage drop. BJT needs large base currents to operate, is inefficient for fast-switching applications, and is at risk due to secondary breakdown. This is where the IGBT comes into play.
Most aircraft modifications are designed with two goals in mind, to increase aerodynamics and reduce drag. There are three types of harmful aircraft drag that aircraft modifications aim to resolve: skin drag, form drag and interference drag. Skin drag is any part of the surface of an aircraft, form drag is drag caused by the shape of an aircraft, and interference drag is how air interacts with other parts and pockets of air surrounding the aircraft at any point of flight. Reduced aircraft drag has an array of positive benefits such as reduced fuel consumption, larger operational range, greater endurance and higher achievable speeds. Benefits like these motivate aerospace engineers and aircraft manufacturers to create new and useful wing and tail mods that fight against drag resistance and produce the most aerodynamic aircraft the world has ever seen.
For most aircraft manufacturers, pilots, and others in the industry, the center of gravity and its relation to the helicopter’s functionality makes sense, but for the average person, it can be a little complex. To simplify the center of gravity, think about a scenario in which an object falls toward the Earth without air resistance. Ask yourself at what point will this tend to rotate. The center of gravity is where the mass of an object is concentrated or balanced. The object tends to rotate at this point.
Not many people are aware that helicopters and other aircraft have floatation systems in place in case of an emergency landing on water. These mechanisms are called Emergency Floatation System (EFS), a system which is engineered to keep the aircraft afloat for enough time to get the passengers to a safe place.
Aircraft tires are incredibly tough and durable features of any aircraft. Despite their strength, it is still important to take care of your tires to maintain their continued reliability and performance. The ideal environment for tire storage is a cool, dry, and dark location, away from air currents and dirt. If proper precautions are followed closely, tires can perform reliably for years. Here are a few ways you can ensure your tires will serve you for a long time.
Earlier in 2019, a jet stream of 231 mph swirled high above New York City. Record-breaking speeds like that had not been seen since 1957, when the previous record of 223 mph was set. Aided by this powerful jet stream, a Virgin Atlantic flight reached 801 mph, a possible record for the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. Unfortunately, Boeing Company does not track the speed of their planes, so there’s no way to know for sure if it was a record. That said, the 787’s average cruising speed is 561 mph, a figure that seems meager in comparison.
