Much like a city or ecosystem, electrical networks are able to complete complex maneuvers only because they connect hundreds of smaller parts. One key way we are able to accomplish this is by using a variety of electrical connectors. Typically composed of a fixed female contact (socket) and a free male contact (plug), electrical connectors can be used to transfer a signal from one electromechanical component to another. Though they often have a similar basic design, electrical connectors come in a plethora of varieties, many of which can be organized based on their connection method. If you would like to learn more about the different types of connectors and where they can be used, read on as we discuss these mighty miniatures in electrical projects.

Aircraft nose wheels facilitate the ease of steering while the vehicle is traveling on the ground, especially during takeoff and landing. Moreover, without the implementation of shimmy dampers, aircraft taxiing at high speeds may experience shuddering of the nose wheel; shimmy dampers are piston-like devices that employ cylinders filled with either hydraulic fluid or a rubber/lubricant combination to prevent rapid movement of the nose wheel without impacting specific operations. In the case of a shimmy damper failure on the taxiway or runway, the aircraft will shake violently, and passengers may feel as though the aircraft may fall apart. Despite this extreme vibration, the plane and passengers will be safe as long as weight is taken off of the nose wheel by the pilot promptly pulling back slightly on the yoke.

Airplane owners and operators have long been making modifications to their planes to improve their capabilities in a range of ways. One central way is the mitigation of drag that comes from installing fairings that form a smooth surface over joints and fasteners. Reduced aircraft drag has a wide array of benefits, from lowered fuel consumption to higher achievable speeds, and more. In addition, there are also modifications that purposely affect airflow to heighten the maneuverability of control surfaces. Altogether, there is a variety of wing and tail mods which have found use on modern aircraft, each with their own special purpose. To learn more about these versatile parts, read on as we discuss the most common down below.
