Power generation is a key component in aircraft engines. When it comes to the generation of power for an aircraft, there are various voltage systems that are used within the industry. Now, choosing what voltage that you want to use within your aircraft is also relatively important. Here are some tips that you can use […]
Written by: Denton Vacuum, LLC There are numerous ways to go about creating microwave circuits. Two of the more common processes involve the removal of excess material to reveal a specific pattern. Furthermore, in both cases, the circuit design is protected by a photo-resistant material with the substrate being exposed to an etching process. The […]
From basic maintenance to advanced tips, servicing your GPU will save a great deal of money. With airplane starting unit costs reaching up into the thousands, even sometimes tens of thousands, of dollars, you definitely don’t want it to fail due to something that could have been prevented. This is by no means […]
Written by: Denton Vacuum, LLC Thin film evaporation is a common process that utilizes mechanical generation. Thin film evaporation is the process that involves the thermal separation of products in a highly turbulent liquid film. This process occurs in a specially-designed piece of equipment that utilizes temperature sensitive products, rotor blades, and intense mixing […]
Your aircraft requires continuous maintenance for both safety and performance purposes. If you’re planning on keeping your aircraft in top-notch flying condition, it’s important that you keep an eye on the engine’s “hot section”. As you might expect, this portion of the engine houses the compressor and other essential parts that are exposed to high […]
Written by: Denton Vacuum, LLC These two PVD methods both deposit metals onto a substrate, but the question is, do they both perform the same? Physical vapor deposition has become an important process in the deposition of materials onto a substrate. Utilizing vacuum techniques, thin metals are deposited onto the substrate through a variety of […]
A vital asset to every pilot and aviation expert, read below to understand the functions of a portable power unit. A helicopter starting unit is a mobile device that helps initiate the starting sequence. Due to its convenience and high power, landing pads tend to store several of these in their storage. Many of them […]
Read below to see how effective vacuum evaporation is over other methods. Vacuum evaporation is a physical vapor deposition process that utilizes the free space of a vacuum environment in order for the material from the thermal vaporization source to reach the substrate. Why this is important is because the collision of the gas […]
Written by: Denton Vacuum, LLC Summary: Learn why sputter deposition provides benefits over other systems. A sputter deposition system is a tool that utilizes physical vapor deposition to allow for a thin film to be placed onto a substrate. Sputtering usually involves argon plasma for it to be effective. One example of sputter deposition is […]
Jet planes and diesel locomotives both have one thing in common, their source of power. Generated by a heavy-duty battery specifically designed to meet their output levels, technology has advanced to the point where specialty companies are able to sell a portable power pack to aviation or locomotive owners. The Evolution of Batteries The evolution […]
