There hasn’t been much to celebrate in the aviation sector since the pandemic grounded flights across the world, almost bringing it to a standstill. However, there is something to look forward to in a post-Covid world and that is supersonic passenger aircraft.

There are many engineering fields of study as it’s a broad subject with several disciplines and interesting ways to specialise. The list is extensive and includes civil engineering, aerospace and automotive engineering, biomedical and materials science engineering among many others.
Not too long ago, the categories were limited to civil, electrical, mechanical and chemical but new subsets are emerging as technology continues to evolve. To find out which engineering fields of study might be best for you, here is a summary that could shed some light and open a few doors.

A few weeks ago we wrote about the Flying-V hydrogen jetliner concept that showed great promise for greener aviation. Well, if you thought that was impressive, wait until you see this new hybrid-electric plane concept. It can reportedly capture 95% of the plane’s harmful nitrogen oxide emissions using an emissions control system adaptation.

Whatever your view might be on global warming or climate change, there’s no denying that there have been some fascinating sustainability innovations in recent years. If we were to show any of these to our younger selves a decade ago, you’d think we were mad.
Whichever way you look at it, change is coming as many innovators and businesses are moving toward building a greener future. With that, here are our top eight sustainability innovations that could make a significant impact on our environment.

Deep hole drilling (DHD) – or deep hole machining (DHM) – is a residual stress measurement technique often referred to as gun drilling. It’s a prominent method in engineering materials and components used across numerous sectors, including automotive and vehicle construction, aerospace and renewable energy. Deep hole drilling is also used in die and mould making and hydraulics or pneumatic components.
Today, there’s a growing demand to put gun drilling into a multi-tasking format, just as you would with common machining techniques such as milling, turning and gear-cutting on one platform. With deep hole machining being a multi-task platform you can create opportunities to offer an incredibly high-quality finished product.

Over the years, Microsoft’s Bill Gates has been involved in many interesting projects but this one seems pretty special. He is backing a start-up which has recently made a breakthrough in concentrated solar power (CSP). This also means there could be massive potential for industrial green energy.

Welding flux is crucial as a prime anti-oxidising agent most commonly associated with arc welding. Choosing the right one will play an important role in the final quality of the weld. As anyone in the industry knows, becoming a welder is no easy feat as they are put to the test with extensive training. Welders must familiarise themselves with the various weld types, practices and the components for each welding method.
Did you know that flux core welding is known as one of the oldest arc welding methods? In this case, age has no bearing as is it remains one of the most effective and widely used methods for joining metal. The way it works is pretty straightforward as flux prevents welds from interacting with the environment, including air. Without flux, the base and filler material will interact with the atmosphere forming oxides or other unwanted compounds.
