Evolution of inflight connectivity

During this webinar, we will speak with representatives from some of the companies that are most focused on making digitalization and AM industrialization in the aerospace industry happen, with key contributions from 3D Systems Advanced Aerospace Applications Leader Bryan Newbrite and Siemens PLM Senior Product Manager Omar Fergani.

This webinar discussed strategies that airports are implementing to reduce waste. Practicing sustainable waste management at an airport can reduce environmental impacts, conserve natural and financial resources, and provide social benefits for the community. In recent years, the airport industry has established a baseline of effective recycling activities and is now exploring new strategies for rescuing food, reducing waste generation at the source, and increasing diversion of other materials from landfills. The presenter highlighted specific programs in action at facilities across the country.

Computers are used everywhere in aviation, with onboard systems, GPS, navigation, and control towers all relying heavily on computer systems. In the past year, we have seen several computer glitches that shut down entire reservation systems. These glitches were simply software errors, but raise awareness to genuine concerns that a coordinated cyber-attack could potentially bring down airplanes, cripple control operations and endanger lives.

If you Google for "aircraft cylinder break-in" you'll get about 488,000 hits. Each manufacturer (Continental & Lycoming) has a Service Bulletin about it, most PMA cylinder makers (ECi, Superior) have a procedure, and many of the custom overhaul chops (Pann Yann, Victor, RAM) have one. Some of the type clubs have one - even Shell Oil offers advice. That's a lot of reading - it's probably smarter to just read watch Mike Busch's webinar.
