ELECTRIC FLIGHT TECHNOLOGY: LAUNCHING THE FUTURE OF AEROSPACE ENGINEERING

The growth of electric propulsion for aviation is driven mainly by its ability to mitigate the environmental impact of hydrocarbon burning aircraft, both from the perspective of gas emissions and that of noise. The cost of operation would also be lower, but since that will be offset by the higher acquisition cost, it is not clear whether the overall cost of ownership of an electric aircraft would be lower than that of a conventional aircraft.

Shipping Aircraft Tire Assemblies by Air

whitePaper | December 15, 2019

Serviceable tire assemblies are considered dangerous since they are typically inflated to high pressure. Essentially, when tire assemblies are shipped by air, the pressure inside the tire increases once the plane reaches altitude. This rise in pressure could cause an over-inflated tire to explode in the cargo hold and compromise the structural integrity of the aircraft. Aircraft tires that are not mounted on the rim are not considered dangerous as they are not under pressure and do not pose a safety hazard.
