When assembling electrical systems, organizing wires efficiently is crucial for both functionality and safety. One indispensable tool that facilitates this goal is the terminal block, which are modular devices that provide beneficial capabilities for structured wire connection. As their use improves assembly layout, prevents wire damage, and allows for reliable and expandable connections across various applications, it is beneficial to have a basic understanding of what they are, what types exist, and how they are used. With this in mind, read on as we answer these questions and more in this blog. Read more >>

The first commercial air passenger flight occurred in 1914. It was a mere 23 minute journey from St. Petersburg, Florida to the neighboring city of Tampa. Since this flight, the commercial aviation industry has taken huge leaps in terms of technology and safety, in addition to its financial boom. Today, aviation is one of the safest modes of transportation. Despite this, many people are weary of flying during inclement weather, especially a lightning storm. However, aircraft are designed to be prepared for conditions like this. In this blog, we will discuss how aircraft are prepared for a lightning strike, how they are protected, and how they prevent damage. Read more >>

Pressure transducer, pressure transmitter, and pressure sensor are often used interchangeably. This is not entirely correct. First, let’s look at the differences between pressure transducers and transmitters. In its most basic form, a transducer is a device used to measure pressure, load, force, or other factors, and convert the reading into an electronic signal. A transmitter also converts a reading into an electrical signal, but subsequently amplifies, modifies, and sends the signal to another receiver. Read more >>

Modern aircraft maintenance requires precision, consistency, and the right set of tools to get the job done. Whether working on a commercial airliner, general aviation aircraft, or cargo helicopter, aviation maintenance technicians rely on a range of equipment and resources to perform safe and efficient repairs. While tool requirements vary depending on the aircraft in question and maintenance task being carried out, some options are considered more universal in the aviation industry. This guide will explore the most commonly used tools in aviation maintenance, detailing their purpose, usage, and variations. Read more >>

Keeping the engine in any aircraft cool is a critical part of maintaining performance and safety. For piston-powered aircraft, this means using a system of baffles and baffle seals to regulate airflow through the engine compartment. Read more >>

A temperature sensor is a device used to measure temperature through an electrical signal that requires a thermocouple. This electronic device consists of two dissimilar conductors (different types of metals) joined together at one end, which form electrical junctions at varying temperatures. When the junction of the conductors is heated or cooled, it emits a temperature dependent voltage formed by a thermoelectric effect, which can be used to measure temperature. Read more >>

The Aerospace Industry has a new star in the Asian-Pacific— South Korea’s first MRO station, Korea Aviation Engineering and Maintenance Service (KAEMS). As of this month, the station has successfully completed its first “C-Check” on a Boeing 737 jet from Jeju Air and has another in progress on a B737 from Eastar Jet. This MRO station is a notable achievement for the aviation industry in South Korea. Read more >>
