The resilience of power systems against interruption or damage caused by hostile electromagnetic interference (EMI) and electromagnetic pulse (EMP) threats is nowhere more important than in critical defence infrastructure, such as air force bases.
Glenn Wedgbrow, Business Development Manager at Micro-Epsilon UK, discusses some of the more challenging automotive test applications for non-contact displacement measurement, draw-wire and infrared temperature sensors.
From producing aviation parts to advancing space exploration, additive manufacturing has helped transform manufacturing for the aerospace industry. The ability quickly to produce low-volume, high-quality custom parts has enabled manufacturers to become more flexible and agile in how they approach design and production.
Urban air mobility (UAM) – or flying cars – is no longer the stuff of science fiction. In fact, the reality is much closer than many realise, with some industry players citing plans to start operating as early as 2024. David Latimer, CEO of Magnomatics, explains what makes this possible.
In the aerospace and aviation industries, pneumatic systems are typically used to control the flows of fuel and other essential fluids for propulsion, thrust, lubrication, isolation, purge, and other fluid-control applications.
