• The Twists, Turns, Trials and Tribulations of Your Average Material
  or material failure. It is possible, however, that tragedies such as these could be avoided through the process of materials testing. What is materials testing? It’s the process of twisting, turning, hitting, and squeezing materials to make sure they stand up to intense stress, strain and impact. In other...

• Monitoring Composite Structures
  . "Currently, no aviation authority knows how to do this," said Shepherd. Today, the burden of ensuring the integrity of composite components lies with non-destructive testing (NDT), but QinetiQ is looking to develop an on-board SHM system that performs such testing as part of its normal function. However...
• Aircraft MRO at KLM Royal Dutch Airlines
  different modules will be overhauled - Low Pressure Compressor, High Pressure Compressor, Low Pressure Turbine, High Pressure Turbine, and Gearbox. The parts of the modules will go to the pre-route (cleaning, non-destructive testing, inspection, partdisposition) and after that, possibly...
• Advanced Chinese Space Technology Initiative Off To Disastrous Start
  of this largest, most complex spacecraft ever developed by the Chinese--launched by China's most powerful rocket--portends a shakeup in the management of Chinese space system testing and quality control. The spacecraft's solar arrays spanning more than 100 ft. and its large antennas all failed to deploy...

  200-plus jets a year immediately after testing. The first of seven planned LRIP batches was ordered in 2007. But since last year's decision to slip the end of SDD to 2014, that year's batch has been rebadged as an eighth LRIP buy. One sign of the program's size is that its "low-rate" phase will build...
• Astronaut Committee Dissension Revealed as Endeavour Flies
  here Aug. 8. "This is a serious business we're in here," said Kelly to Launch Director Mike Leinbach. "I'm proud of my crew and the rest of the astronaut office for their competence and professionalism for consistently making something that's incredibly difficult look easy.". The crew will be testing...

  and rudder and fuselage sections. Composites in the HTP are applied to a stabilizer that is larger than the wing of an A320, notes Daniel Claret Viros, an engineer in Airbus' composites technology department. Full-scale HTP testing is now ongoing after completion of extensive assessments...
• Pentagon Seeks More Power From Vehicles
  stimulus funding for the project, and is using the cash to bring the system to a reasonable level of maturity before turning it over to industry later this year in an open competition, with the goal of testing it in 2010 and 2011. Gallagher admitted, though, that "400 amps can only get us so far...
