When discussing aircraft, it is common to think of the standard commercial airliners and single-engine trainers that are regularly seen across the globe. These heavier-than-air vehicles are known as fixed-wing aircraft, due to the fact that they feature rigid airfoil structures that are designed to create lift as the aircraft moves forward with high thrust and speed. While such aircraft are very popular, they are not the only type available, as one can also consider helicopters and other similar vehicles. These aircraft are known as rotary-wing aircraft, achieving their lift and directional control through the use of rotary wings or blades that spin around a central mast.

Rotary-wing aircraft are used for a wide range of applications including military operations, medical emergencies, and tourism. Moreover, each component comprising these vehicles plays an important role in ensuring their safety, reliability, and efficiency. That being said, rotary-wing aircraft incorporate integral parts such as a fuselage, airframe, main rotor system, engine, and more, to stay aloft, all of which will be discussed in further detail below.

Helicopters are considered marvels of modern engineering, and while they are some of the most graceful and maneuverable aircraft in the world, they are also complex and challenging to operate. Unlike airplanes, which generate lift by using their forward speed to move air over their airfoil-shaped wings, helicopters utilize their airfoil-like rotors to move the aircraft. More than that, the rotors are spun by the engine, and they point up towards the sky to produce lift, not thrust.

If you are a new or prospective pilot, trying to determine which aircraft and/or systems are best for your needs and desires can be a somewhat complex endeavor. For example, the systems that transport fuel-and-air mixtures to the engine for combustion are paramount for standard operations, and one is often presented with the choice of either a fuel injection system or a carburetor. While carrying out the same duties, the way in which the two systems do so is different. As such, it is highly recommended that one takes the time to consider their needs before making an investment so that they may ensure that everything is the right fit.

Modern aircraft engines are powerful apparatuses, capable of compressing, mixing, and combusting fuel-and-air mixtures for the means of generating the propulsive force necessary for forward momentum and lift. With fuel-and-air combustion comes large amounts of intensive heat, that of which is expelled from the engine exhaust section to protect the assembly from extreme temperatures and pressures. While effective, some heat will still traverse to other sections of the engine, potentially leading to hazards if not combated. As such, aircraft utilize their engine oil system to help cool cylinders and other components. While this serves for optimal thermal management, engine oil also has the added benefit of lubrication, contamination removal, and more.

When working with various fluids that are traversing within enclosed systems, it is very beneficial to have as much control over flow and movement as required for safety, performance, etc. In order to achieve this, it is common to use valves which are devices with adjustable orifices and elements that allow flow to effectively be manipulated. Based on one’s needs, there are a number of valves to choose from, each varying in its specific design and capabilities. One popular type of valve for control is the non-return valve, and this device is a single-way valve that only permits fluids to flow in a singular direction. This is crucial when fluids cannot be allowed to move upstream, whether this is due to issues such as increased fluid pressure, contamination, performance loss, etc. In this blog, we will discuss the functionality and design of non-return valves, allowing you to have a better understanding of the options available for you and when they can be used.

From before they leave the terminal to the time when they land at their target destination, aircraft pilots must make a lot of important decisions during each flight. When making these decisions, there will be many different things to take in consideration, all of which can change at a moment's notice. To best prepare pilots for the multitude of decisions they will need to make, a model for decision making was devised called the “5 Ps.” These five factors should be considered at many different points during a flight, including during pre-flight checks before takeoff, multiple times throughout the flight, during landing right before final approach, and just before entering ground traffic. Whether responding to regular changes in the environment or facing an emergency, these five factors should be considered:
