Aircraft are among the most mechanically complex machines in operation today, with every component of a model needing to work in unison to ensure safe and efficient flight. Bearings are one such element that are a staple of design, often being overlooked despite their direct role in upholding the performance of aircraft assemblies like engines and gearboxes. These small but powerful components play a central role in reducing friction, distributing loads, and enabling the smooth operation of moving parts, making it necessary for any operator, maintenance personnel, or industry professional to have a basic understanding of them.

This blog will explore what bearings are in more detail, primarily focusing on the common types used in aircraft engines and gearboxes. This will ensure that you have the ability to uphold efficiency across these systems, so be sure to read on if you would like to learn more.

Fuel serves as the single largest cost for a majority of aircraft operators. In fact, some experts estimate that every pound of an aircraft’s weight, including crew, passengers, baggage, and the aircraft itself, contribute to about $10,000 in annual fuel costs. To reduce aircraft weight and fuel usage, aerospace engineers, aircraft designers, and maintenance organizations are reevaluating 21st century airplanes. In this blog, we will outline four ways changes in aircraft design can help reduce fuel costs and consumption.
