Most of the Orbiter material is comprised of either an Aluminum or Titanium alloy; it depends on the system itself and its exposure potential (environmental) as to the exact composition.
A composite laminator . a composite technician can laminate a multitude of materials together by the use of adhesives
The main material people recognise is fibreglass. Generally the fibreglass is laid into a mould , a determined quantity of resin is used to wet out the glass then another layer of glass and resin is added. The air bubbles are removed from between and the item is left to harden. This is the lamination
This is a simplified version of what a composite laminator does.
Technicians use a multitude of materials and resins with many varied techniques to produce many items in the aeronautical industry, for example laminating of metal, carbon fibres, kevlar and basically anything that the adhesive will bond to. the two main resins used are polyester with MEKP being used as a catylyst or epoxies that use a hardener.
Some of the items manufactured are flaps , radomes, fairing but not limiting to aircraft themselves. Example of aircraft manufactured are the majority of gliders in use today but there are powered types ie The Rutan Varieze and the Long EZ home builts These powered aircraft can be manufactured by just about any experienced composite technician .
Hi,
Parametric constraint can be set up to maintain relationships and drive design changes. In this example, the radius of the circle is the driving dimension. Changing the radius of the circle, changes the length of the lines, while the parametric constraints maintain the relationships between the shapes- preserving the design intent.
the world comes crumbling down
BE Aerospace consists of several acquired businesses and a lot of internally grown businesses. The first two acquisitions, in the late 1980's, were (a division of) Eeco and a company called Bach. The initials were combined to be BE Avionics. (Avionics is a word formed by combining Aviation and electronics, and has been in general use since the 1950's.) That is also why the company's stock symbol is BEAV. BE Avionics products were almost all electronics products for passenger entertainment systems. In the early 1990's, the "Avionics" was changed to "Aerospace" when the company diversified into many non-electronics product lines. And the passenger entertainment business was sold to a French company, Thales.
