A blind bolt is an innovative solution in the world of fasteners, designed to address the challenges of securing materials in areas with limited or no access to the backside of the joint. These fasteners are particularly valuable in construction, automotive, and aerospace industries where traditional fastening methods are either impractical or impossible to use. In this blog, we will cover what a blind bolt fastener is, how it looks, and how it functions to provide insight into its versatile applications and benefits Read more >>

The primary way in which most aircraft fly is through the combustion of fuel and air within a reciprocating or turbine engine, and the majority of engines are designed to operate most efficiently with air that is at sea-level pressure. This is because air density decreases with altitude, leading to a lower power output as an aircraft climbs higher. To prevent hazards such as losing altitude as a result of low lift production, many piston engine aircraft utilize what is known as a turbocharger to fly with increased power. Read more >>

Propeller blades are similar to aircraft wings, with cambered and flat sides, chord lines that run throughout the blade length, and leading & trailing edges. Aircraft propulsion generated by rotating propellers requires the use of a highly complicated mechanism since the propeller takes on the features of a rotating wing. There are differential aerodynamic properties between the top and bottom of the propeller blades. Propeller blades tend to be long and thin, and because of their rotation, the speed of the blade tips tends to be faster than that of the near-hub sections. Consequently, analyzing the differential airflow generated around the rotating blades becomes difficult. This blog aims to deconstruct the complex working mechanism of propeller propulsion into a more simplified explanation for ease of understanding.  Read more >>

When it comes to any vehicle including an aircraft, securing hardware is a primary task that needs to be done for safety. Loose hardware wiring can be a cause of tragic accidents and threaten many lives. As a result, it is crucial to secure the aircraft’s bolts and fasteners with safety wires to prevent accidents. Furthermore, one should always check such assemblies often to confirm whether they are tight and ready before take-off. Read more >>
