1)Polymer Matrix Composites-PMC is a plastic matrix reinforced by high-performance carbon or organic fibers. The fiber reinforcement is stronger than the matrix and provide stiffness and strength. Reinforcement is laid in a particular direction within the matrix and the resulting PMC will have different properties in different directions (anisotropic properties)

2)Titanium and Titanium Matrix Composites -The use of metal matrix composites is currently uneconomical, but they clearly offer great future potential,

3)High-Strength Stainless Steels-New high-strength stainless steels offer a high corrosion resistance, high fracture toughness and excellent corrosion resistance. MLX17 high strength stainless steel is such that “a 1mm diameter wire would be strong enough to lift a car.” MLX17 (X1CrNiMoAlTi12-11-2) is capable of 1700 MPa; aluminum and titanium are used for hardening. Applications for MLX17 include landing gears, actuators, and flaps. In addition to stainless steel’s strength and anti-corrosion properties, it has environmentally responsible attributes—it doesn’t require toxic cadmium surface treatments like other steels and stainless steel is recyclable.

“Main landing gear of each aircraft is used to absorb the load of the aircraft in landing/ take-off and also weight of it while it is on ground. After reaching its flight cycle, it needs to overhaul to keep aircraft safe. Write an essay how to inspect, clean and lubricate the bearing of main landing gear during maintenance. Make sure the procedure is complete.”

After lowering the landing gear, the pilot notices that the "gear down and locked" light is not illuminated. "It's probably just a burned out light bulb," she says, as she proceeds on final approach for landing. Considering the pilot's hypothesis, which is the result of Type I error? Explain your choice! A. The sound of metal scraping on concrete will be heard upon landing. B. The landing is delayed unnecessarily while the bulb and gear are checked. C. We cannot...
