VSE Corporation announced today that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire four business units from Killick Aerospace Group, consisting of Prime Turbines (including both U.S. and Germany-based operations), CT Aerospace, Kansas Aviation and Air Parts & Supply Co. The companies to be acquired specialize in maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) services and parts supply for corporate and regional jet aircraft engines and engine accessories.
CPI Aerostructures, Inc. today announced that it has received a notice from the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) to resume work on its previously announced contract to provide structural wing components and logistical support for F-16 aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul operations (MRO).
Hexcel has been presented with an award for “Best Research & Technology Partner” by AEROLIA SAS (Stelia Aerospace), acknowledging the strong collaboration between the companiesin demonstrating the potential of HiTape® technology for next generation aircraft primary structures.
NASA’s Super Guppy plane has hauled a huge composite fuselage cross-section from Long Beach, California to the Langley Research Center in Virginia for testing. This plane resembles a giant fish and is based at the Houston facility of NASA's Johnson Space Center.
Oil & gas pipe measurement specialist Optical Metrology Services (OMS) has developed a non-contact, laser-based dimensional measurement system for aircraft wing boxes (horizontal stabilisers) and other similar shaped systems.
Boeing has completed its first milestone in certifying its human space transportation system for launching NASA crew to the International Space Station. This is part of the Commercial Crew Transportation Capability (CCtCap) contract and NASA has approved this completion.
Formulated to operate over the wide temperature range of -80°F to +650°F, Master Bond EP17HT-LO is a one part epoxy for bonding, sealing, coating and encapsulation applications.
NASA recently partnered with AR and successfully completed the initial hot-fire tests using copper alloy materials on a thrust chamber assembly of an advanced rocket engine. The Game Changing Development Program in the Space Technology and Mission Directorate of NASA has been investing actively in 3D printing research and has co-funded a test series with Aerojet Rocketdyne (AR) at the Glenn Research Center. Additive manufacturing or 3D printing is increasing in popularity and is transforming the cost, speed and flexibility of building and designing future machines for earth and space applications.
In order to improve aerodynamic efficiency, researchers have substituted the traditional aluminum flaps found in an airplane with trailing-edge wing flaps that can seamlessly bend and twist during flight.
Researchers from NASA's Langley Research Center have designed a huge robotic arm that collects spools of carbon fibers and moves in a preprogrammed pattern to arrange these fibers in a 40-foot long bed, to fabricate aerospace structures and parts.
