Posted on November 18, 2016 David Sherman

Raytheon has been given the chance to be able to replace the entire US Air Force Northrop Fleet. This process will only be valid if and when Raytheon Aircraft's partnership with Leonardo is successful in a four-way competition to replace the T-38 Talon fleet.  The other competitors are amongst some of the most well-known companies in the Industry. With Raytheon being one of the top choices it is competing with Boeing/SAAB, and Northrop Grumman. AS Boeing/SAAB, and Northrop Grumman have not quite picked their assembly location they have sent for some of their beginning clean sheet prototypes to tested in places such as St Louis and Palmdale.

Raytheon has agreed on a final site for the assembly of the T-100 to be held in Meridian Mississippi. Shortly after the Raytheon decision, Lockheed Martin released that they will assemble the T-50 model in Greenville, South Carolina with the help of the Korea Aerospace Industries. Raytheon has a slight advantage with staying put in its primary location and just expanding its manufacturing operations. The plant is located in east Mississippi and will continue to expand to about an approximate 72km west and will be home to the assembly of active electronically scanned arrays for airborne radars. These competitors continue to work vigorously around the clock to be the number one selection for the US Navy contract. Sources say that the Air Force is scheduled to release its final request for proposals for the T-X contract in December. The Ending reward will be the opportunity to replace more than 420 T-38C aircrafts that hare currently serving in the air force as an advanced trainer for fighter and bomber pilots.  Raytheon / Leonardo’s team has respectfully agreed to use their M346 model as their bid.

The Importance of Bearings

Posted on June 14, 2016 David Sherman

Mechanical bearings help to reduce the friction between moving parts, proving to be a vital component in a wide variety of machines ranging from bicycles to airplanes. Bearings are a component that consists of five basic parts which include seals, balls, ball cages, races, as well as grease. Multiple balls are placed between races, which are concave surfaces. This allows the balls to rotate freely amongst one another with minimal friction (though one ball is typically fixed). The seals and ball bearing cages help to hold everything in place, while also keeping out any dirt or debris. The grease helps to protect and lubricate the entire moving system. It is important to keep in mind though that not all bearings are created equally.
