**** Deadly Osprey Crash Caused by Mechanical and Crew Failure, Air Force Says **** There is a detailed article which explains what failed and led to the recent Osprey vertical lift aircraft accident. The gearbox pinion was the first component to initiate failure by cracking in pinion gear body. It does not mean that its simply a pinion material defect as it can be that the design has overloaded the pinion or its bearing, or the lubrication oil spray flowrate is insufficient. #failureanalysis #rootcauseanalysis #aircarftdesign #verticallift Technical Report: https://lnkd.in/dd2etz9w Article: https://lnkd.in/dpDRTXFG

✈️✨ Ensuring Safe Skies: Regular maintenance is crucial for airplanes to uphold strict safety measures. At #FOERSTER, we've developed different devices to inspect individual components according to international standards, such as turbine blades. These blades, arranged in a wheel shape, can be prone to corrosion damage and cracks during flight. Our new #TCM device equipped with special eddy-current sensors allows for a thorough and efficient check of the blades for surface cracks on-site during maintenance work. Additionally, our #MAGNETOSCOP measuring device ensures any corrosion caused by high thermal loads is detected. With FOERSTER, your freedom over the clouds remains worry-free. 🛫 🌤️ #AviationSafety #AircraftMaintenance #Aerospace

✈️ Protecting Aircraft Integrity: The Role of Conductivity Measurement 🌩️ In aerospace, extreme temperatures near turbines or during lightning strikes can weaken aluminum structures. This loss of strength can compromise aircraft safety and performance. Measuring electrical conductivity helps detect these changes. As aluminum weakens, its conductivity changes, indicating potential damage. Conductivity meters, like FOERSTER's SIGMATEST, provide a simple and effective way to measure conductivity and identify weakened structures. Our device ensures quick and accurate assessments, maintaining safety and reliability. https://hubs.la/Q02BkT3X0 #Aerospace #AircraftSafety #ConductivityMeasurement #SIGMATEST #FOERSTER #AviationInnovation #MaintenanceExcellence #SafetyFirst

A defective transmission can lead to a critical loss of power. If you notice any strange noises coming from under your seat or experience no movement in one direction, it's imperative to contact a mechanic immediately. Timely intervention could save you from serious issues and might require helicopter replacement parts. Stay vigilant and ensure your helicopter's transmission is in top condition with quality parts and expert service for your aircraft at https://ow.ly/owze50SRAlH. #HeloHazards #AviationSafety #HelicopterMaintenance #TransmissionProblems #MidwestAerospace

Greetings Everyone, ✌ Did you know that airplanes are designed to withstand lightning strikes? When lightning strikes an aircraft, the electric current flows along the airplane's conductive exterior, primarily through its aluminum skin. But here's the clever part: the aircraft's structure is carefully designed to ensure this current flows harmlessly around the passengers and critical #electronic #systems inside. #AviationEngineering #ScienceBehindTheSkies #LightningStrikes #AerospaceMarvels #SafetyFirst The video below explains it much better than i can 😅 👇
