Finding the right custom fabrication services provider for the aerospace sector can be challenging due to various factors. In many instances, a provider of custom fabrication services is chosen based on their ability to provide a low-cost solution. Although cost is a crucial component in the decision-making process, other considerations include the company’s overall capabilities, experience, and quality workmanship. Here, PRV takes a closer look at how aerospace companies can procure a fabrication expert.
It’s a little surprising that drones in manufacturing are not as widely used since the global drone market is expected to exceed $15 billion in 2022. Right now, drones in manufacturing account for less than 2% cent of the total drone deployment despite the countless benefits unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) present to several industries. In this post, we take a closer look at how drones can be used in manufacturing along with some of the regulations.
With a continued focus on decarbonising the aviation sector using sustainable aviation fuels and battery tech, how close are we to hybrid-electric flight?
Since air traffic is set to increase 5% every year until 2030, it’s not surprising that more companies are looking for ways to make aircraft more sustainable. Rolls-Royce, the world’s second-largest aircraft engine manufacturer, has joined the fray by revealing its new turbogenerator.
The continued focus on renewable energy has led researchers to find new and improved long-term energy storage systems. While batteries made from lithium and other minerals have proven useful for energy farms, they are not sustainable, especially on a global scale.
Fortunately, with the continuous investment in research and development, there are potential solutions. These include commercial-scale ‘sand batteries’ from Finland and Switzerland’s 20 million kWh ‘water battery’, which is now operational after 14 years of development.
