Ultem Polyetherimide is a material widely used in the aerospace industry. It is a material with high thermal resistance, high dielectric strength and excellent durability. Since it has a high thermal resistance rating, components have the benefit of evading radar detection. It is often used in military aircraft components for weight reduction in place of […]
Look in any aircraft maintainer’s toolbox and you’re sure to find a few items that aren’t offered in any aviation supply catalog. You’ll probably find a sharpened putty knife, scribe, or utility blade that the maintainer uses to remove gap materials, sealants and adhesives from aircraft substrates and fasteners. While these items may offer a […]
