In this article, we’ll not only address the concerns related to snowfall but also provide valuable insights into ensuring the safety and efficiency of aircraft, particularly smaller ones, in the cold wi... read more
Every part, component, and material has a shelf life. And when that material is regularly traveling tens of thousands of feet above sea level and dealing with various atmospheric pressures and forces, that shelf life might be a little different compared to a material that’s subject to more ordinary conditions.
