of flying an aircraft as economically as possible. Advances in technology have made this possible in a number of ways‚ one of which is the introduction of composite material use wherever feasible. Composite materials typically offer a weight saving of between 20 and 25% when used in place of historically manufactured components made predominantly from alloyed metals. The heavier the aircraft‚ the more fuel it burns for a given mission‚ making weight reduction top priority for aircraft designers. The

Aircraft Mechanics are also known as: Airframe or Power Plant Mechanics and Avionics or Aviation Technicians. As a valued and critical member of an airline’s chain of operations‚ the primary responsibility of this professional is aircraft preventive maintenance that ensures peak operation‚ performance‚ and safety. This is achieved through aircraft servicing‚ repairing‚ overhauling‚ and testing. A Mechanic performs all required maintenance and inspections of aircraft engines‚ landing gear‚ pressurized

major weather hazards that cause a number of aircraft accidents. It is a hazard that can snowball out of control and cause problems such as reduce aircraft efficiency by increasing weight‚ reduce lift‚ decrease thrust and increase drag. These effects can cause the aircraft to increase stalling speed or cause the aircraft to force downward in flight. Over the years‚ aircraft engines and airframes have changed dramatically. Modern day aircraft are aerodynamically less accepting of airfoil

Aircraft structures Abstract: The aircraft structure is an important part where the structure of an aircraft depends on the optimum requirement of the customer and the environments in which it will be going to fly for the major time. It has to go several checks at regular interval of flying hours under proper inspection. This paper contains the basic information regarding the components of an aircraft and the basic concept of its design. The main criteria of design and its philosophy is the

Blanchard (1981) identifies some of the essential elements of the military “Operational Concept” in 1 through 7 below: 1. MISSION DEFINITION - How is the system to be used? What are the mission objectives? How are the objectives to be accomplished? Where will the aircraft be operated? All of these and

In fact‚ during the emerging years of early aircraft‚ many designers incorporated many designs‚ and as new technologies emerged‚ different designers incorporated them

OUTSOURCE FOR AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE Good afternoon‚ in today’s agenda‚ I would like to bring your attention to the benefits of internal and external aircraft maintenance. As studies have shown that the cost benefits are marginal to maintain the aircrafts internally‚ the company is looking into contracting this process to external vendors. I believe most of you are wondering why we are planning on such move‚ let us look at the possible factors between internal and outsource of our aircraft maintenance
