The margin for error in aerospace operations is exceptionally narrow, a philosophy which extends all the way to navigation methods. Aircraft across commercial, military, and private sectors are equipped with highly specialized navigation systems to determine position, plan routes, and maintain accurate course control. Although GPS is the most synonymous with wayfinding in the modern day, aircraft rely on a diverse range of aids that complement each other to ensure robust and redundant positioning capabilities.

The two most common types of helicopter engines are the reciprocating engine and the turbine engine.The heat produced by a helicopter’s engine must be dissipated by either cooling the outside of the engine, cooling the combustion chamber or cooling the oil. Oil cooling is extremely important in maintaining optimal engine performance. Aircraft Oil Coolers help maintain the oil temperature of an aircraft while the engine is running. The thermostatic valve on an oil cooler reroutes the oil back through the system if the oil does not require cooling.
