10 Oldest Aircraft that are still in Service
When it comes to airplanes, it’s easy to assume that new ones are built every so often to replace the old ones. You would think it would be easy to tell the difference, yet updates often make them almost indistinguishable. You might have even flown on one of these oldest passenger airplanes without even knowing […]
How the Invention of the Airplane Changed the World
For thousands of years, people have looked up at the sky and imagined what it would be like to fly. Today, people no longer have to imagine that feeling. Let’s explore how humankind developed aviation technology to fulfill that innate desire for flight. History of Flight Timeline A comprehensive history of flight could fill volumes […]
Is Predictive Aircraft Maintenance the Future?
Predictive maintenance is an increasingly popular topic in the aircraft industry. The term refers to special software that collects data during an aircraft’s flight. This data is, in turn, used to alert an aircraft operator of potential maintenance that will need to be completed on the plane. As a preventative measure, predictive maintenance can save […]
The Difference Between Metal Fabrication and Welding
If you’ve ever wondered if welding and fabrication were the same things, you are not alone. While many people use metal fabrication and welding in the same context, they are distinct terms used to describe separate processes. The difference between welding and metal fabrication is that welding is a more specific process that is often […]
What Determines the Lifespan of an Airplane?
An airplane is an expensive investment. Boeing aircraft can cost anywhere from $89 million to more than $442 million, depending on the model. At some point, it becomes necessary to replace an aging aircraft with a new one. However, the high cost makes it especially important to preserve its useful life span as much as possible. The […]
What is Metal Fabrication?
Metal Fabrication Metal fabrication is an essential part of modern society, with applications visible nearly everywhere and in many different industries like infrastructure and transportation. Every day, you likely benefit from products made through metal fabrication processes in some way. What is Metal Fabrication? Metal fabrication is the process of shaping metal by hand or […]
Aircraft Preventitive Maintenance
Like all complex mechanical systems, aircraft require regular maintenance to ensure safety and reliability. Preventive maintenance is key to keeping an aircraft in good condition and identifying potential problems before they lead to serious consequences. Both certified aviation maintenance technicians and pilots who hold a pilot certificate issued under 14 CFR Part 61 are authorized […]
