Just before the dawn of World War II, the Royal Air Force designated six flight instruments that would be installed in every single RAF aircraft. These guidelines were adopted by commercial and civil aviation manufacturers alike and came to be known as the “six pack.” The six pack consists of six instruments providing the pilot with constantly updating information of speed, altitude, ascension/descension, attitude, heading, as well as turning/banking. The individual instruments are the airspeed indicator (ASI), altimeter, vertical speed indicator (VSI), attitude indicator, heading indicator, and turn coordinator. Read more >>

Molex recently released a new D-Sub Earthing Connector with one interesting quality that’s sure to stand out –its waterproof! That’s right, now you can be sure your IP66 and IP67 are protected from stray voltages and water invasion through a more secure connection to the earth.  Additionally, there is a cap attached to the connector that allows the connector to be IP protected; International Protection (IP) refers to the level of protection against penetration from foreign matters such as dust and water.

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.
