In flight operations, maintaining optimal control over aircraft systems, flight surfaces, and other various onboard assemblies is achieved through advanced actuation technologies. Actuators in their most basic form are essential for converting energy into motion, these devices being employed throughout aircraft to enable pilots to command essential systems. Currently, actuation is primarily driven by pneumatic and hydraulic systems, both of which operate with distinct capabilities, limitations, and principles. As understanding the basics of these two systems is paramount to properly upholding actuation in modern aircraft, read on as we discuss their main operational mechanics and applications.

Aircraft control panels serve as the primary interface between pilots and onboard systems, enabling real-time monitoring and operational control. Specifically, these panels are engineered to organize essential inputs and feedback mechanisms into layouts that support both usability and flight safety. In this blog, we will explore the critical components that contribute to the function, durability, and maintainability of modern aircraft control panels, so read on to learn more. Read more >>

Modern aircraft are engineering marvels, heavy in weight and composed of thousands of parts, yet they are capable of traversing long distances in the air with ease. From structural bolts to advanced actuators and high-stress brake discs, every component plays a vital role in this capability, making it necessary for operators to maintain the airworthiness and health of every assembly through routine inspection and maintenance practices.

Flight control surfaces are aerodynamic devices that allow a pilot to manage an aircraft’s flight, attitude, and trajectory. These surfaces are divided into two main categories: primary and secondary (or auxiliary) flight control surfaces. Primary flight control surfaces represent some of the most vital components, directly responsible for controlling an aircraft’s three main axes of movement—pitch, roll, and yaw. Without these systems working in concert with one another to maintain balance and facilitate turns, climbs, or descents, controlled flight would be impossible.  Read more >>

Starting an aircraft engine involves a carefully orchestrated sequence of events driven by various specialized components. The starter system plays a pivotal role in this process, and in this blog, we will explore how it works by examining key elements like the aircraft battery, flywheel, magnetos, spark plugs, and starter adapter. We will also discuss common operational issues, so read on to gain a comprehensive understanding of how these systems allow an aircraft to achieve flight. Read more >>
