Aircraft communication is key for pilots as the utilization of global airways continues to grow. Generally speaking, aircraft fly at an altitude of 35,000 to 42,000 feet and must be able to maintain regular contact with other aircraft, control towers, and their home base.
Learn MoreElectromechanical relays are switches used to control high power electrical devices. They turn a small amount of power into a much larger amount. These relays use an electrical supply in order to perform a mechanical action, hence the name. Moving parts are used to connect contacts within the relay. Electromechanical relays are most commonly used to control a single circuit using a low power signal or to control multiple circuits with a single signal.
Learn MoreThey always sound so high tech that we hardly notice that our day-to-day lives always involve the use of sensors. From IR sensors in TV remotes to passive infrared sensors on automatic doors or LDRs for outdoor and street lightings, sensors are everywhere.
Learn MoreBearings are some of the most common mechanical elements in any machine or system. Typically, bearings are components used between two other components that allow for rotational and/or linear movement, while reducing friction and increasing efficiency. This is based on the simple idea that things roll better than they slide.
Learn MoreAircraft flaps are a high-lift device designed to increase aircraft lift once a certain speed is reached. Flaps help the wings adapt to whatever phase of flight they may be in. The usage of flaps on wings provide these three major advantages:

Boeing KC-46A Pegasus Tanker has completed its first flight making it one step closer to being delivered to the US Air Force. The tanker has been a long-awaited request from the Air force due to the many traits it can and will perform. The Tanker has been inspired by Boeings prolific 767 airframe that has been a great asset to the Equipped with in Aircraft Fuel Systems to be able to fuel any coalition or allied aircrafts.
The plane will be able to transport patients or be able to carry a significant number of passengers. The aircraft is to be built in Boeings Everett Facility which is in Everett, Washington. Boeing has been able to place 34 of the awaited aircrafts on contracts prior to their competition.
