• Pit-Mounted Lift Becomes Correct Approach for Aircraft Component Manufacturer
  A large aircraft component manufacturer was searching for a safer and ergonomically correct approach to loading components into an autoclave while increasing efficiency and lowering costs. The answer was a custom built hydraulic pit mounted scissor lift, which also provided the benefit...
• GapmanGen3 Electronic Gap Measurement System for Aircraft Applications
  Process control improvement drives new gap measurement techniques. Due to increased standardization of process improvement methods such as SPC and Six Sigma, aircraft structural component manufacturers from Alenia to Lockheed are adjusting output specifications from their measurement instrument...
• Case Study: Measurement system retrofit reduces inspection times and gains new business for world-class manufacturer
  leading designers and manufacturers of aerodynamic models used in wind-tunnel tests,” says Craig, “and we have worked with Airbus & The Aircraft Research Association in Bedford for a number of years.” . This world-class reputation helped the firm win its first significant contract in the US, in early...
• British Airways: Garry Copeland
  worked hard with Airbus and Boeing to establish a proper 'living' maintenance planning document that not only fits the needs of our fleets but also includes recommendations from the manufacturer. We also have seen big improvements in aircraft downtimes and component turntimes from lean and continuous...
• 787 Wing Work Sharpens Mitsubishi's Focus
  system that British wing plants play in Airbus's. The plan does not target Boeing exclusively, however, because Mitsubishi will not want to tie itself entirely to the U.S. manufacturer, says Kiyotaka Ichimaru, general manager of the Japanese company's civil aircraft and aeroengine department...
• Airbus, Boeing Hope to Convince Suppliers of Their Build Forecasts
  at Allegheny Technologies, a supplier of titanium used in aircraft engines and other components. "We're just saying, 'Tell us what you want us to ship.'". With the downturn in the airline industry having choked off demand, some investors are asking how long either manufacturer can avoid scaling back...
• AirLiance Materials: David Sisson
  providers such as PMA manufacturers. Of course, we're in the scrap replacement business, too. The first order of the day for customers is to repair these components rather than replace them. So, if a component is beyond economic repair, then they come to surplus parts providers like ourselves, PMA...
• Industry Drives Toward Digital, Standardized Data
  LOUISVILLE, KY -- Commercial aviation is going digital across the board, from dealing with passengers to managing aircraft maintenance. Getting the most out of digital information requires effective collaboration across supply chains, and the need will only increase as outsourcing grows...

• Comparative Study of Military Specified General Purpose Synthetic Aviation Lubricants in Regards to Wear Performance, Corrosion Prevention and Salt Water Resistancy (.pdf)
  MIL-PRF-81322 has been used for many years as a wide temperature (-54 to 177ºC) aviation lubricant. Recently, MIL-PRF-32014 has shown improvement with enhanced wear and corrosion resistance. Various military aircraft component testing will be discussed, both bench and field. A lubricant comparison...
