The aerospace and aviation industry, as you can imagine, is a very strictly regulated one. In the US, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is the body that regulates all aspects of civil aviation including the aircraft “aftermarket parts” industry. Unlike the automobile industry, replacement parts not manufactured by the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) have to go through thorough scrutiny in order to get the parts manufacturer approval (PMA).
When people think about their next computer purchase, it almost always comes down to Mac versus PC. And while Mac users boast all they want about the inpiduality and personality of a Mac, PCs are what you want if you truly want a powerful computer that reflects your personality. Building your own PC with hardware parts can be fun and exciting, especially if you love computers or want to do your own build for a specific reason like gaming. However, it can also be challenging and frustrating. Unless you’re prepared. Before you start your build, here are 6 things you need to have a basic understanding of.
A recurrent argument in the aviation industry is whether people can use PMA parts or is OEM parts a must when it comes to buying parts?
To start off what is PMA? PMA stands for Parts Manufacturer Approval. PMA parts get production and design approval issued by the FAA. The FAA approves of PMA parts if they are manufactured following with FAA accepted procedure, they need to meet the FAA standards of airworthiness.
NASA has had many achievements but their newest achieved milestone includes creating a supersonic passenger jet that could travel over land. The quiet supersonic aircraft titled QueSST will begin test flights in 2020. The aircraft is labeled as quiet do to the fact that the fuselage is behind the cockpit, a rare configuration that has not been seen since the 1950’s. Flight demonstrations for the aircraft will begin in 2020n to evaluate how the fuselage placement technique effects sound. NASA also wants to conduct research to determine how humans will perceive the sound disruption the jet causes by breaking the sound barrier.
