In the realm of aviation, the dihedral angle is an important design element that affects the stability and handling of an aircraft. The dihedral angle refers to the angle at which the wings are tilted upward from the horizontal plane of the fuselage, and this value can greatly determine how a plane behaves while in flight. In this blog, we will discuss dihedral angles of wing structures, allowing you to have a better understanding of what they are, as well as the pros and cons of positive angle designs.

While they might seem like a small element lock washers play significant role in securing fastened surfaces. Paired directly with an installed bolt, lock washers strengthen the connection by preventing rotational movement. This is exceedingly important in vibration-generating applications, such as aviation and heavy machinery, since prolonged vibration may lead to the bolt coming loose or uninstalled completely.

The aircraft fuel system is paramount to flight operations, serving to manage and distribute fuel for engine functionality. Any compromisation of the fuel system is highly dangerous, and any noticed leaking or malfunction should be remedied prior to undertaking another flight.

Thanks to the rise of affordable integrated circuitry, modern general aviation aircraft now mount a wide range of electronics and avionics capable of offering pilots real-time displays of weather conditions, navigating in all three dimensions thanks to satellite signals, and storing a comprehensive database of engine operation parameters. However, these devices require a reliable power source, which takes the form of a generator or alternator. These devices are rated in volts and amps in terms of their power output. Generators and alternators come in 12 and 14 volt variants, with 12 volt variants running at 12, 15, 25, 38, 50, and 60 amps, while 24-volt alternators typically feature 60 or 95 amps.
