The aviation and aerospace industries are renowned for their relentless pursuit of innovation and precision. As a result, these industries demand materials for construction that withstand extreme conditions, all while being lightweight, durable, and reliable. Two standout materials that have played a pivotal role in meeting these needs are aluminum alloys and stainless steel. In this blog, we will explore the benefits of these materials in aviation and aerospace applications.

By offering a unique combination of lightweight, strong, and excellent mechanical properties, composites are advanced materials that have revolutionized the aerospace industry. Generally, these materials are composed of stiff fibers embedded in a matrix and have gained significant popularity in aerospace applications. To better understand the impact of composites, we will delve into their remarkable contributions so that you can best find a solution for your needs.

The standard construction materials of commercial aircraft have largely remained the same for over half a century, with sheet metal forming much of the exterior. This design has remained in use because it is durable, corrosion-resistant, and relatively easy to work with. Nevertheless, sheet metal does have its limitations, those of which can often be improved upon by opting for composite materials. As a result, we are likely to see composite materials taking up a larger place in modern aircraft design in the coming years.

Today, one of the most common helicopter engines is the turboshaft engine which is a type of turbine engine. Turboshaft engines are essentially jet engines that run on kerosene-based fuel. There are many turboshaft engine variations, but all follow the same basic concepts and principles. To better understand how helicopter engines operate, this blog will outline their working principle and useful tips.
