Article Planes, Trains and … Increased Profits for Bombardier Inc. Image

Bombardier Inc, the world’s largest train manufacturer and fourth largest commercial aircraft manufacturer, has reported a 25 percent jump in first-quarter revenue on a robust growth at its aerospace division. Most of this growth is due to the and successful testing of the C-Series jetliner, a new commercial jet liner with a single-aisle and seating for up to 160 passengers. The CSeries has been developed by Bombardier in an attempt to jump into the 100-to-200 –seat aircraft market that is currently dominated by Boeing Co and Airbus.

Bombardier has reported it already has 145 firm orders for the CSeries from nine customers in eight countries and has commitments for another 243 of the passenger liners. The CSeries was developed with cost efficiency in mind, boosting a 15 percent operational cost advantage over similar sized craft produced by Boeing Co and Airbus models in the same size range. The CSeries also totes a 20 percent fuel consumption advantage over other jets in its category. It has also been designed with a lighter airframe than similar models of jet liner.

A Guide to Purchasing Inconel: Tips and Considerations

Inconel® is a family of nickel-chromium superalloys known for high strength, corrosion resistance, and oxidation resistance at elevated temperatures. Well-suited to demanding applications, Inconel alloys typically comprise 50–70% nickel, 15–25% chromium, and other elements such as iron, cobalt, molybdenum, and tungsten. The specific composition of an Inconel alloy depends on its intended applicati

3D-Printed Metal Matrix Composite Could Boost High-Temperature Aerospace Components

A research team at the University of Toronto has created a metal matrix composite that stays light, strong, and stable at temperatures where most aluminum alloys fail. The material is produced through a combination of laser-based additive manufacturing and micro-casting, giving it a reinforced-concrete-like architecture on a microscopic scale. That structure delivers strength at both ambient and e
