Rolls-Royce's next move
2018-03-08
Engine manufacturer Rolls-Royce is in many ways the leader in MRO support packages and was so even before the arrival of the digital revolution that allowed a transformation in support capability. This support extends into every aspect of operations, control, analysis of performance and through life maintenance and repair. Over the years, Rolls-Royce has consolidated its lead in comprehensive customer support activities alongside the continuous development of new advanced specification aerospace engines.

Ensuring Aircraft Safety by Optimizing Ice Protection Systems
2023-01-13
Aircraft that carry crew and/or passengers must pass one or more icing-related standards for certification. Ice protection systems and components play a crucial role in safe aircraft operation. Such systems are usually installed in wings, nacelle intakes, pitot tubes, stabilizers, and propeller and helicopter rotor blades. These safety-critical systems follow a certification requirement per Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 23, 25, 27, 29, and others, for the various types of aircraft and rotorcraft as well as engines.
