What is the most important thing you need for a safe and reliable flight? It is not always about the type of plane you are flying or how much fuel weighs in the tank, it is about avionics. Read more >>

Thyristors are a type of solid-state semiconductor device featuring four P- and N-type material layers that alternate. When placed within varying types of circuits, a thyristor will act as a bistable switch. As such, it will conduct when a current trigger is received, continuing until the voltage is either removed or becomes reverse biased. Two thyristor variations are common, each of which differs in the way that its conductive state is triggered. In this blog, we will discuss the thyristor and its functionality, allowing you to better understand their importance and the applications that they commonly serve. Read more >>

Months after SpaceX launched a Tesla Roadster on the Falcon Heavy while blasting David Bowie’s iconic “Space Oddity”, we don’t really feel that we’ve gotten any closer to arriving at the future we’ve dreamt of for so long, the colonization of Mars in true Star Trek fashion. Maybe that’s because the dream common for people at NASA or the Boeing Aerospace and SpaceX are not necessarily shared by the average person. Or maybe that’s because SpaceX’s launch back in February doesn’t look or sound that different than the Apollo 11 launch in 1969. Especially not when you realize that the technology that literally thrusts people into space and the future, the turbofan engine, hasn’t changed much over the years. Read more >>

In recent years turbine powered RC planes are the cutting edge in the industry.
