Splice connectors offer a convenient way to connect two wires. Rather than soldering the wires, you can place them in a splice connector. Its conductive properties will create a circuit by allowing electricity to travel between the wires. While all … Read More

As a pilot, you probably know the dangers of ice buildup. Even small amounts of ice can cause serious mechanical problems, such as obstructed fuel lines and filters. While you can’t control the atmospheric temperature, however, there are ways to … Read More

Hose clamps play an important role in protecting against leaks. Also known as hose locks, they are designed to squeeze hoses around mating surfaces. Even when pressurized fluid flows through the hose, it won’t leak. The clamp will create a … Read More

Quarter-turn panel studs are commonly used in the aerospace manufacturing industry. These specialty fasteners are secure, easy to install and long-lasting. If you’re thinking about using them, however, there are a few things you should know. Below is a beginner’s … Read More

Fasteners play an important role in aerospace manufacturing. Whether powered by turbofan or turboprop engines, all airplanes have fasteners. A typical Boeing 747, in fact, has roughly 3 million fasteners. Some types of fasteners, however, are better suited for aerospace … Read More

Airplanes are often classified according to their wing configuration. There are monoplanes and biplanes, for example. Monoplanes and biplanes feature different wing configurations. As a result, they not only look different; monoplanes and biplanes have different flight dynamics. What Is … Read More

Rivets are commonly used in the aerospace and manufacturing industries. They are permanent mechanical fasteners with an expanding part — typically the tail or head — that’s used to join two or more objects. When shopping for rivets, though, you … Read More

Have you heard of low-pressure hoses? They are commonly used in airplanes. From wide-body airplanes to small commuter airplanes, many airplanes feature one or more low-pressure hoses. Whether you’re building your own airplane — or if you’re simply an aviation … Read More

When installing gaskets, you may want to use gasket sealant. It will amplify the gaskets’ properties so that leaks are less likely to occur. Whether a gasket is made of silicone, fluorosilicone or any other elastomeric material, it will stretch … Read More
