Businesses are usually born out of necessity. In a simplistic way, when someone believes there is or will be a need for a product or service, they'll move to provide that. If that need turns out to be ...

A newly designed self-healing composite material can repair itself over 1,000 times. Developed by researchers at North ...

Cracks in aircraft turbine blades led to an emergency landing on the sea ice by Rankin Inlet, Nunavut, a recent report from the Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB) shows. Though the cause of ...

Researchers have created a self-healing composite that is tougher than materials currently used in aircraft wings, turbine blades and other applications—and can repair itself more than 1,000 times.

MTU is monitoring the trends in material development and will apply novel materials, such as ceramics, if they offer a good balance of improvement and maturity. Credit: MTU When it comes to jet engine ...

The integrity of the turbine blades in the engine of an aircraft is crucial for its safe operation. Aircraft engine blades are subject to a range of stresses during the operation cycle of the engine, ...

US Army researchers believe they have found a novel way to articulate the position of turbine blades in the hot section of jet engines. They say the innovation could significantly improve the ...

Aircraft engine manufacturers fully understand that even small surface defects can reduce performance, increase maintenance costs, and reduce the useful life of an aircraft engine. They need to ...
