For aircraft to efficiently operate through a range of extreme temperatures, pressures, and humidity, they are held to high standards during their design, construction, and general maintenance. In order to achieve such readiness and reliability, aircraft engines in particular need to be well maintained and protected from heat and lubricant anomalies. To ensure that engine parts are well protected, advanced engine oils and lubricants may be used in order to cool components and mitigate friction. As engine oil is similarly held to high scrutiny for performance, many engine manufacturers will conduct oil analysis as part of engine development and testing.

The process of manufacturing a boat involves many steps including design, fabrication, assembly, testing, and so on. Design, in addition to being the first step, is among the most important. A pivotal aspect of the design process is deciding which material to use for the boat’s hull. In this blog we will discuss the four most commonly used materials for shipbuilding: steel, aluminum, fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP), and polyethylene.

When operating an aircraft, there are various flight characteristics that pilots must consistently monitor and be aware of for both flight efficiency and safety. One of these characteristics is the speed of the aircraft, and this value is used to ensure the aircraft is operating at safe velocities and is following set flight plans for fuel management and scheduling. To measure airspeed, pilots rely on an instrument known as an airspeed indicator (ASI). In this blog, we will discuss how aircraft airspeed indicator functions, as well as the various types of airspeed measurements that can be obtained with their readings.

As artificial intelligence and data science continue to improve, countless industries have revolutionized their operations through its implementation. The airline industry is no exception to this change as technology has enabled many operations to become more efficient and streamlined. From booking flights to managing maintenance schedules and crews, artificial intelligence provides airlines the capability to improve upon procedures that benefit both industry workers and consumers who rely on them for traveling across the world.

A personal electronic device, or PED, is a piece of lightweight, electrically-powered equipment. PEDs most commonly refer to consumer electronic devices such as laptop computers, tablets, e-readers, smartphones, MP3 players, drones, electronic toys, and any other device capable of communications, data processing, and/or computing. Like any electronic device, there is the possibility that the PED can fail and potentially catch on fire. When bringing a PED aboard an aircraft, it is important to know how to prevent these fires, and how to react to one should it occur.

Despite the many impressive advancements made in the field of alternative energies, the vast majority of private and commercial aircraft still run on fuel. The function of an aircraft engine is not much different than that of any other type of engine - they burn fuel within the engine's combustion chambers to create propulsion. However, the biggest difference in the function of these engines comes in the form of the type of fuel they burn. Instead of the fuel used by cars, trucks, and other automobiles, aircraft require a specific type of fuel for optimal performance and efficiency. This is known as kerosene fuel.

While aircraft are advanced systems that have radically changed our ability of long distance travel, they mean little without the pilots and cabin crew that operate and manage them. For aircraft that are designed to transport passengers, military personnel, and cargo, the aircraft cabin crew will typically consist of individuals who fulfill certain roles such as those that tend to passenger needs or those that specialize in medicine for emergencies. In this blog, we will discuss the common roles and responsibilities of the cabin crew, allowing you to best understand how they keep an aircraft operating efficiently and safely.
