Relays instruct electrical or electronic devices and machines to activate or deactivate when prompted by a user. Generally, we depend on relays to activate numerous appliances, machinery, and equipment, ranging from motor vehicles to conveyor belts. Time delay relays in particular, have a time delay mechanism built in.

A typical aircraft jet engine consists of many different parts, each serving a distinct role that allows for overall operations to be carried out with ease. O-rings are a small, yet important, element of jet engines, coming in the form of ring-shaped, elastomeric mechanical seals that are compressed between components for the means of preventing leaks. O-rings can come in many shapes and types, allowing them to be implemented in systems where they prevent the leaking of oil, water, sewage, and other various fluids. In this blog, we will discuss the application of O-rings for jet engines specifically, allowing you to better understand how they aid in upholding operations.

Aerospace engineering is defined as a field associated with the design, development, and manufacturing of aircraft and spacecraft. There are two overlapping branches in this field: aeronautical and astronautical engineering. Aeronautical engineering refers to aircraft that operate within Earth’s atmosphere, while astronautical engineering refers to spacecraft that operate beyond Earth’s atmosphere.  In order to familiarize yourself with aerospace engineering, here are 6 fun facts you probably didn’t know about aerospace engineering.          

Rolls-Royce has introduced a new low-emission combustion system for their future engines. The first test was successfully completed in Canada at -20*c, just a month after its first test run. The new demonstrator engine features the Advance3 and the Rolls-Royce UltraFan which also play very important roles in Rolls-Royce goal of the intelligent engine. The intelligent engine created by Rolls-Royce is envisioned to have revolutionary technological abilities and digital capabilities. This engine is monitored by ALECsys (Advanced Low Emissions Combustion System), which monitors weather and thrust requirements for the pilots. It does this by changing the mixture of fuel and air being sent to various parts of the aircraft depending on different factors.
