Article Russia’s New ZIL Military Vehicle Looks To Trump The US Army’s Humvee Image

The United States Army has been actively looking for a replacement for the iconic Humvee, resulting in Russia coming up with its own new multi-purpose military vehicle.

Russia’s biggest manufacturer of trucks and heavy machinery, ZIL, unveiled a concept called ZIL Army Car, which is lightweight and features big tires, huge axles, and a neat outer shell.

The ZIL military vehicle is capable of carrying 10 people with gear and can easily cruise over a wide variety of terrain thanks to a four-cylinder diesel engine.

The US Army is still vetting different multi-purpose military vehicle designs, but it will be interesting to see what concept the United States will eventually choose to rival Russia’s new ZIL military vehicle.

Why Titanium Is Used in Aerospace Applications

Ever wondered why titanium is used in aerospace? It’s because it gives engineers a rare mix of strength, low weight, heat performance, and corrosion resistance. In aircraft design, every pound counts. But weight savings can’t come at the expense of safety, fatigue life, or certification. Which is why titanium is specified for parts where weight, strength, heat, and corrosion performance all aff
