The reliability and performance of countless aircraft systems often hinges on the use of fasteners, hardware, and bearings that are engineered to accommodate varying loads, vibration levels, temperatures, and environmental conditions common to flight. To meet these expectations, such items are often manufactured in accordance with NAS, MS, or AS standards, all of which strictly define allowable materials, dimensional tolerances, and performance characteristics. In more operationally-demanding areas like structural joints, landing gear systems, engines, flight control linkages, and beyond, the expected conditions and functional requirements are further amplified, making it necessary for professionals to seek the right options for any assembly. In this blog, we will offer some basic guidance for selecting fitting fasteners, bearings, and hardware for demanding aircraft applications, so read on if you are interested in learning more.
