British aerospace giant Rolls-Royce and Air China are entering into a new Joint Venture to build a maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) facility. The new facility, Beijing Aero Engine Services Company Limited, will provide essential MRO support on several engines. This Joint Venture between Rolls-Royce and Air China is a result of the United States increasingly implementing export restrictions on advanced technology and limited international travel.

CNC Milling Machines are used to shape metal and other solid materials using specialised cutting tools programmed and managed by Computer Numerical Control (CNC) systems. The machining process creates a specific part or product with the help of CAD software, short for Computer-Aided Design.
Today, you won’t find many items that haven’t gone through CNC milling machines as most sectors rely on this specialised process. Some examples are cars, aeroplanes, machine parts, moulds for household machines, toys and even prosthetics. All of these are likely to have one or several CNC-machined components.

In a collaborative effort between the United Kingdom and France, the Concorde was born. It was the world’s first supersonic commercial aircraft which was a cut above the rest and, perhaps, a few decades before its time. Having invested so much in building this revolutionary supersonic commercial aircraft, why did the Concorde fail?
