Elastomer compatibility in turbine engine oils Oil manufacturers face the challenge of developing high thermal stability oils that do not damage elastomer materials in turbine engines, which can lead to leaks and high oil consumption. How can we assess the elastomer compatibility of high ther...
ensuring firmer contact between the wheels and the runway surface. Reverse thrust we already mentioned – this system re-directs the engine airflow to produce drag. It helps aircraft slow down, but is not a primary braking system as such. In very general terms, the use of max reverse over...
For the user of a system, configuring an order may be as simple as checking boxes on the options they choose. But behind the screen, the software is constantly checking the choices made against a set of rules determining what’s possible and what things cost. It’s possible that choices m...

The SERVQUALmodelconsiders five dimensions customers use to evaluate the quality of service they receive from a business. These dimensions include: Reliability How consistently does the organization deliver a product or service on time, as described, and without error?
When Boeing launched the 777X at last year’s Dubai air show, backed by commitments for over 300 aircraft from four customers, Toulouse’s worst nightmare became a reality. Having suffered at the hands of Boeing in the “big-twin” sector for much of the
The most noticeable use of bleed air on the ground is in air conditioning. Before starting the main engines, the aircraft often starts its APU, which provides electrical power to the aircraft and air circulation to the cabin. As the APU is essentially a jet engine in the tailcone of the ...
The data also covers the processing and setup times for every work center, again when being properly input by the user. So, capacity calculations can be performed with current technology. Question for ERP brands and developers: How does that huge amount of data, currently collected by your ...
In the 1970s and 1980s, there were a few cases of damage to the rear engine of Boeing 727 aircraft, such as this case reported in the Los Angeles Times, where ‘blue ice’ damaged the engine and caused an emergency landing. Do you know of any different systems, or interesting examples...
I’d like to focus on the first factor, the Boeing 737 MAX 8, to understand how we got to where we are. The Boeing 737 was originally designed in the 1960s as a short-range twin-engine lower-cost alternative to the mid-sized 707 and 727 airliners. The 737-100 entered the market ...
