First piece off a #swisslathe was .0001" off nominal (+/- .0005" tolerance) but I don't make adjustment quite yet - here's why #statistics 🤓✅ Fyi this is after taking single finish pass at .125" depth of cut too! Another 3 machined parts outer diameter measure exactly same too (across 3 different but identical model Mitutoyo micromers).... but... I will run 26 more pieces for 30 total before making offset changes. Why 30? Why not make offset adjustment for turning tool right now after machining 4 parts? Reason: Central Limit Theorem (CLT)! This is a statistical principle that teaches us that the distribution of the samples will tend to be normally distributed as the sample size increases. If I only look at one sample (like the 0.24990" part pictured).... I don't really know whether that sample is representative of the true average.... or just a random outlier. Why is that? Because of Process Variation! In any machining process, there is *always* natural variation due to factors such as tool wear, thermal expansion, or slight inconsistencies in material, etc... By measuring 30 samples, I can better understand this variation and determine whether the process is centered correctly or if adjustments are needed. The first measurement that I did which was 0.24990" .... is within tolerance so it's a "good" part (yay), but it's still only ONE data point. The variation between additional parts could cause future parts to drift higher or lower. If I go ahead and adjust the machine immediately after looking at just the first part... I could actually over-correct for what might be a normal, acceptable variation in the process. Result --> Over-adjusting for a small deviation (especially within tolerance) could lead to increased variation, making the process less stable. So... by gathering a larger sample size (30 measurements) I can apply statistical methods --> such as calculating the mean, standard deviation, and control limits... and then make an informed decision about whether an adjustment is really necessary. Ok, but still... why 30??? First thing is "The Law of Large Numbers" teaches me that as the sample size increases... the sample mean gets closer to the true population mean. The reason 30 is used as the minimum sample size for many statistical analyses.... comes from math (ack!) and principles of statistical distribution. CLT's math begins to hold fairly well around a sample size of 30... which is why it's considered a good rule of thumb. And also from a practical perspective, 30 strikes a balance between statistical reliability and the effort required to collect and process data. Beyond 30, the rate of improvement in statistical accuracy diminishes, gathering more samples yields diminishing returns in precision unless extremely high accuracy is needed. #machineshop #precisionmachining #aerospace #cnc #quality #stem

The FAA has published its Congressionally mandated report on its Organisation Designation Authorisation (ODA) granted to Boeing. For those unfamiliar with the FAA regulatory system, the ODA allows the company to perform some airworthiness designee authority on their own where the FAA would be performing otherwise. This is comparable to the EASA system of Design Organisation Approvals. This report examines the influences within Boeing's corporate culture on the company's safety culture. Its conclusion directly ties several decades of corporate decisions making to an erosion in aircraft safety. Most damning is the observation that there is no objective evidence of a foundational commitment to safety that matched Boeing's description as its highest priority objective. The lessons learnt within the report are applicable to the much broader business context. Values drift and standards erode through a long process of normalising deviance. It is easy to couch each incremental corporate decision as one made in the company's best interests. It is over a long span of time that this becomes obvious. Ethical erosion occurs over time and the lessons of Boeing should be a reminder to us all.

At Strike Aviation, we are committed to staying at the forefront of innovation and finding practical ways to implement new technologies into our daily operations. This month, our Frankfurt team – comprising Daniel Nolz, Daniel Sturm, Johanna Schwab, Natalie Nayra Deger, Julia Knecht-Ostwaldt, Lena Mahler, and Elbangel Grimm Reina – participated in two important training sessions focused on workflow optimization using Microsoft software. In the first training, we delved into methods for optimizing workflows with MS365. We explored the practicality of quick links, setting up an Intranet, and effectively utilizing channels and chats in Teams, all while gaining a deeper understanding of communication behaviors and best practices. According to our calculations, these new skills are expected to save each team member up to 2 hours per week, which is a significant productivity gain. ⏳ 💼 The second training focused on MS Copilot. We have already launched Copilot for part of the team and are currently testing its capabilities to the fullest extent. We believe these insights will encourage us to harness AIs potential to improve our results, quality, and overall work efficiency. 🚀 #StrikeAviation #AviationExcellence #TeamAchievement #WorkflowOptimization #Microsoft365 #MSCopilot

Last week the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) pledged to work closer together. The pledge covers many critical areas, including - strengthening of the focus and information exchange on safety oversight to promote a strong safety culture; and -promoting aviation sustainability, particularly activities on sustainable aviation fuel development and deployment. On safety culture: During and in the aftermath of the pandemic we saw many experienced people leaving the industry and with them, the capacity to form a holistic view of the safety of an organization and its operations. It will be interesting to follow the changes in behaviors of the organizations and jurisdictions where this is most needed. On sustainability: I see brilliant innovators creating future pipelines of feedstock for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) or blending techniques to cover the array of pathways to producing SAF. For these start-ups to accelerate, they need capital to scale. Strong regulatory backing and guidance will assist their funding efforts. #safetyleadership #aviation #sustainableaviation #FSCPartners https://lnkd.in/grPceN4s

Airbus and Avincis, a well-established European helicopter operator, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to partner on the development of Advanced Air Mobility (AAM). The companies will collaborate to explore opportunities for operating electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft throughout Europe. Through the agreement, Airbus and Avincis will focus on defining the concept of operations for eVTOLs in Europe and beyond. Both parties will jointly work to define mission profiles for eVTOL operations in Europe and other target regions. This agreement is another step towards the creation of an AAM ecosystem and is an expansion of Airbus’ long standing relationship with Avincis. The Avincis global fleet currently includes around 60 Airbus aircraft, which are critical to delivering safe, reliable and consistent operations from its bases across Europe, Africa and South America. Avincis and Airbus have enjoyed a longstanding and successful cooperation, developing a solid and trusting relationship that will form the foundation of this new eVTOL collaboration. https://lnkd.in/gkrPP86P

HAMBURG — When RGN journalists first tried the Meridian single-aisle economy class seat from Collins Aerospace (formerly B/E Aerospace) several years ago, we were blown away by its comfort features including impressive legroom even in snug layouts. Fast forward to this year’s Aircraft Interiors Expo in Hamburg, and the RTX subsidiary has unveiled Helix, its newest generation of main cabin single-aisle seating which incorporates “elements of widebody comfort and novel design approaches” to accommodate new and emergent generations of narrowbody air travel. With Collins boasting three key pillars for Helix – comfort, reliability and sustainability – we were very eager to engage in some claim-testing at its stand. There we found that Helix offers more comfort even in high density configurations whilst tackling emerging trends in IFE and in-seat power.

#Deutsche #Aircraft, the pioneering German original equipment manufacturer (OEM), has announced a revised entry into service (EIS) timeline for its 40-seater #regional #turboprop, the #D328eco. The aircraft is now set for EIS in the fourth quarter (Q4) of 2027. The adjustments to the timeline align with regulatory changes that entail the detailed and comprehensive certification process and the associated compliance requirements. This update comes after detailed internal review and intensive discussions with customers and potential operators, the aviation value chain and key stakeholders. While the reasons behind this decision are multifaceted, the revised EIS timeline will also enable Deutsche Aircraft to implement additional capabilities and improvements to the brand-new regional turboprop. Deutsche Aircraft continues to collaborate closely with current and potential operators, as well as suppliers, on the latest developments in the D328eco programme. Several new features and capabilities are being evaluated, including a further improvement of #STOL (short take-off and landing) performance, specifically in non-benign operational environments, combined with advanced avionics capabilities. These changes will be made in the context of the current certification and programme envelope and will advance the D328eco to even higher standards of market requirement alignment for both commercial and multi-role operators.

#Airbus has taken another significant industrial step towards the serial production of the #A321XLR long-haul #aircraft. Together with hangars 260 (pilot line) and 259 (equipment assembly), the new line in hangar 246 forms the infrastructure for serial production of the A321XLR at the Airbus site in #Hamburg. The A321XLR revolutionises long-haul flights. The core of the aircraft is the rear centre tank, integrated into the rear fuselage structure and located in sections 15 and 17. These sections are assembled using shells and joined with section 18/19 (supplied externally) to form the rear fuselage of the A321XLR. The newly established structure assembly line, installed in a former A380 hangar over recent months, boasts a 24,000 m² production area and employs around 300 people. Incorporating state-of-the-art tools, laser and sensor-controlled measurement systems, the planning of the hangar also prioritised ergonomic and energy-efficient aspects. Large photovoltaic panels are installed on the exterior of the hangar. Noise containment elements and lifting platforms at workstations have been added to avoid steep stairs and provide optimised ergonomic access to the sections. The floor grid is assembled vertically instead of horizontally to prevent workers from working in uncomfortable positions like kneeling. Moreover, the workstations are designed more efficiently, allowing for more space to move around the platforms easily. Production of the A321XLR is already running at full speed in Hamburg. The new structure assembly in hangar 246 will play a crucial role in achieving the production rates. #aviation #airlines #economy
