In supporting Dynamatic Oldland Aerospace’s drive in securing a position as a key supplier to the aerospace sector, REM Systems have supplied an Erowa robot pallet cell.Here, the flexibility and efficiency of the manufacturing cell is helping the company consistently produce complex 5-axis machined components on time and to precise specifications.

Shortening set-up time, increasing productivity and generally improving the bottom line for job shops and large manufacturers alike are easily achievable through quick-change modular tooling.The KM system from Kennametal, Latrobe, can provide high clamping strength and consistent accuracy in both spindle-mounted and static tooling applications.

As NASA aeronautics engineers prepare to develop a series of greener, quieter, faster X-planes, they are already testing concepts that could be candidates.One of those is a Blended Wing Body (BWB). A 6% scale model of a Boeing BWB is being tested for six weeks in the 14x22ft. Subsonic Tunnel at NASA's Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia.

A team from NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, has been selected to develop a third-generation facility science instrument for the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy, SOFIA.The principal investigator, Samuel Harvey Moseley will lead the team to develop the High Resolution Mid-InfrarEdspectrometre(HIRMES).

Multiple teams of Georgia Tech researchers are utilising cyber techniques to support accelerated materials design. Here are a few of the innovative efforts underway by research teams that include engineers, chemists, physicists, computer scientists, and others.

Hoisted about 30ft. in the air, a mockup of Boeing’s CST-100 Starliner spacecraft awaits its encounter with a pad full of dirt.“Three, two, one” projects over the loud speaker just before the spacecraft is released and makes a loud thud when meeting the dirt. Six attached airbags absorb much of the landing impact and stabilise the spacecraft.

An MIT spinout is preparing to commercialise a novel rechargeable lithium metal battery that offers double the energy capacity of the lithium ion batteries that power many of today’s consumer electronics.

You may not think about insulation much, but it's one of those unsung industry heroes that keeps our drinks cold and homes warm on those bone-chilling winter days. Insulation also is a key component to protecting NASA's Space Launch System and its super-cold fuels for the journey to Mars.

Air Tahiti Nui and OpenAirlines signed a contract to implement the software, SkyBreathe Fuel Efficiency, in order to allow the airline to save 2 to 5% of fuel consumption.Taking in account that air transport is responsible for more than 2% of CO2 emissions worldwide (equivalent of Germany's CO2 emissions) as well as 30% of an airline costs, implementing SkyBreathe is a must.

Jean-Louis Evans, Managing Director at TÜV SÜD Product Service, explains how those supplying airline manufacturers should approach qualification and compliance testing.
