According to Dr Neil Calder, Rolls-Royce is right to be very wary of introducing composites into fan blades and one could forgive them for taking a conservative approach to designing them in. A look at industrial history will tell us of the RB211-22B high bypass......

Within a mature aerospace manufacturing industry, is the surface finishing of aero engine parts in automated robotic cells about to undergo a revolutionary makeover?...

As next generation aircraft design seeks to refine every aspect of the flying experience, cabin materials have been under continual pressure to improve in order to generate improved efficiencies over flight operation cycles. As always, weight reduction is the main......

John Jeffery, CEO of J2 Aircraft Dynamics discusses the commercial and technical benefits to be gained when undercarriage simulations are combined with aircraft simulations to provide a completely integrated solution during the design of the entire aircraft....

A new approach to design optimisation is enabling composites pioneer Tods Aerospace to make the best use of the latest advances in material technology....

The entire dynamic for coating aircraft materials is being rearranged as the REACH regulations come into force. One such example is the banning of chrome-based compounds, which will have wide implications for the way critical structural parts are protected. ...

Donald Lyon, managing director of Monitran, explains how the achievement of realtime turbine blade health monitoring could revolutionise predictive maintenance routines for aero engines and improve safety....
