An aircraft is built by attaching many parts together. The construction of each part takes place individually, usually in lathes, milling machines, presses, etc. For the part to be accurately located inside these machines -while it is taking shape and basically being produced- it needs holes to hold it in place.
While these holes can sometimes have an active function when the part is being installed or operated, this is usually not the case. A structural engineer should analyze every part so that the tooling holes -and its overall shape and characteristics- do not present a problem.

What is it mean by 129 trace in aircraft parts traceability?
It means a trace back to airline.
What is 490 grade steel?
Its a low carbon, high strength structural steel. It is mostly used for cranes, booms, bridges, machinery parts and mobile equipment.
Give the advantages and disadvantages of powder metallurgy compared to casting processes?
Advantage: - High melting point metals can be fabricated below their melting points - Special Structural Effects (Controlled porosity, Lamellar structure, Composite Structure, Controlled density) - Flexibilities for producing PM parts with specific physical and mechanical properties like hardness, strength, density and porosity. - Produces near net shape components. The technique required few or no secondary operations. - The tolerance of components produced by this technique have quite high tolerance, therefore no further machining is not required. - High Production Rate of small parts - Parts can be produced with infiltration and impregnation of other materials to obtain special characteristics which are needed for specific application. - No material is wasted as scrap during process. Disadvantage: - Cost for production of powder for metallurgy is very high.(Only justified if >100,000 Parts) - The tooling and equipments are very expensive, therefore becomes main issue with low production volume. - Limited shapes and features. Powders cannot flow round corners. - Complex shapes requires several punches, otherwise density will not be uniform. - Difficult to produce large and complex shaped parts with powder metallurgy. - Low ductility and strength. (Brittle) - Difficult to handle low melting point metals as they tend to melt when sintered - Slight shrinkage on sintering and cooling to room temperature - Cannot be bent or cold worked due to brittleness - Threaded feature can only be produced during secondary operations - 1mm <Thickness< 2.5D
What is the mix of sand and cement to make stucco?
one part hydrated lime, three parts medium grade sand, two parts Portland cement and water as required or needed
What is Aircraft Liaison engineer?
Coordinates activities to evaluate and resolve engineering-related production problems encountered in assigned area of aircraft manufacturing facility: Reviews production schedules, engineering specifications, orders, and related information to maintain current knowledge of manufacturing methods, procedures, and activities in assigned area. Confers with quality control, material, manufacturing, and other department personnel to provide technical support. Interprets engineering drawings and facilitates correction of errors on drawings and documents identified during manufacturing operations. Investigates reports of defective, damaged, or malfunctioning parts, assemblies, equipment, or systems to determine nature and scope of problem. Examines, measures, inspects, or tests defective part for conformance to engineering design drawings or blueprint specifications, using precision measuring and testing instruments, devices, and equipment. Consults with project engineers to obtain specialized information. Evaluates findings to formulate corrective action plan and coordinates implementation of plan. Maintains records or oversees recording of information by others to ensure engineering drawings and documents are current and that engineering-related production problems and resolutions are documented. Serves as member of material review board to determine disposition of defective or damaged parts. May specialize in investigating and resolving tooling problems and be designated Tool Liaison (aircraft mfg.).
What the airframs parts of an aircraft?
The 'airframe' is the structural skeleton of an aircraft, its main wing beams, it's bulkheads and all other frame parts.
What are the advatages of vacuum forming?
One of the most often mentioned advantage of vacuum forming is the short amount of time required to produce parts, and the low tooling costs - as compared to injection molding.
How can military aircraft parts be purchased?
If you're looking for military aircraft parts, you can find them available for purchase on many different websites. Some sites that offer military aircraft parts are Military Aircraft Parts, DIMO Corporation, and Skylink.
What is an aviation electrician?
aviation electrician handles wiring of aircraft, as opposed to "avionics" technician who handles the aircraft electronics, the "metalsmith" who handle the "skin" ie aluminum etc and structural parts; and the aircraft mechanics who handle the power plants, ie jet engines or piston engines; and then more defined hydraulic specialists, etc.
Where can I purchase aircraft spare parts online?

What properties should duralumin have so that it makes good aircraft parts?
It is strong and light weight. That makes it suitable for aircraft parts.
What aircraft uses stringers as a part of a aircraft body?
Most aircraft use stringers as parts of the fuselage form.
What is aircraft component maintenance manual?
There are many manuals used for aircraft maintenance such as the Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM), Illustrated Parts Catalogue (IPC), Structural Repair Manual (SRM) and the Component Maintenance Manual (CMM). The AMM shows you how to remove, refit and test a component but to overhaul or repair the item, you will need the CMM as it describes how to strip, inspect and repair each item.
