REPORT ON MATERIALS AND PROCESSES USED IN THE MANUFACTURING OF MODERN AIRCRAFT BRAKES FUTURE TRENDS The aircraft brake is dependent on the situation of the aircraft industry and influenced by the development of aerospace technology. As new designs and manufacturing processes do not occur very often‚ the worldwide operating competitors will have to analyse every new aircraft on the market and evaluate the cost and profit. Various modern equipments and processing

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

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The philosophy of just-in-time (JIT) originated in Japan 50 years ago at Toyota Motor Co. The goal is to create a production environment driven by demand that holds only a small amount of inventory and products at any given time. Organizations in the manufacturing‚ service and public sectors are implementing a wide variety of innovative managerial tools and JIT philosophy to help them deal with the highly competitive‚ customer-driven environments in which they must operate.

JIT Application in Toyota Company Toyota is one of very large company in automobile. In their production‚ Toyota Company has applied JIT (Just in Time) approach in their manufacturing. The advantages of using JIT approach is to reduce or minimize the waste of production‚ reduce hands-off‚ reduce re-work and any other delays on manufacturing process. One of characteristic in JIT approach is the flow of work. Parts or component of material will flow from one work center to many others with intermediate

I. LANDING GEAR SAFETY DEVICES Most airplanes with a retractable landing gear have a gear warning horn that will sound when the airplane is configured for landing and the landing gear is not down and locked. Normally‚ the horn is linked to the throttle or flap position‚ and/or the airspeed indicator so that when the airplane is below a certain airspeed‚configuration‚ or power setting with the gear retracted‚ the warning horn will sound. Accidental retraction of a landing gear may be prevented by

On December 17‚ 1903 when the Wright brothers made the first successful airplane‚ it opened up a new industry where the small manufacturers had just as much a chance to succeed as the large

New study area This week I have learned more about the interior part of the aircraft which is the cabin layout in most aircraft . Seats are frequently equipped with further amenities. Airline seats may be equipped with a reclining mechanism for increased passenger comfort‚ either reclining mechanically or electrically (usually in long-haul first class and business class). Most aircraft also feature trays for eating and reading‚ either in the seatback which folds down to form a small table

What Are Aircraft? Everyone has seen a jet streaking across the sky leaving a trail of vapor as it goes. Maybe you have heard the distinct thud‚ thud‚ thud as a helicopter slows in its descent. You have probably marveled at a plane so massive that it seems to just hang in the air by some invisible force. These wonderful marvels of human engineering have captured the hearts of many. They are known the world over as aircraft. But what is an aircraft? Aircraft’s are comprised of many different things

ERAST programme develops pilotless solar powered airplane technology. The HELIOS construction is based upon its predecessors like NASA’s solar plane Pathfinder‚ which was successfully tested a few years prior to HELIOS. Due to its speed HELIOS was able to fly over the same spot for days or weeks‚ therefore‚ in the future such aircrafts could substitute communication
