항공기에도 네비게이션이 필요하다!
현대 한국인의 생활 필수품이 된 네비게이션. 자동차뿐 아니라 대중교통을 이용하거나 걸어서 길을 찾을 때도 이제는 모두 GPS 네비게이션을 이용한다. 이제 비행기도 네비게이션이 필요한 시대. 비행기를 위한 특별한 네비게이션은 단순히 항로를 안내해주는 수준이 아니라 효율적이고 안전한 이착륙, 효과적인 공항 이용을 가능하게 해준다. 연료와 경비 절감은 보너스.

Colder weather is on the way. If you’re in Winnipeg, Canada, that means ice testing is too. There, @geaviation test engines are pummeled with sub-zero winds and ice. The harsh conditions on the ground make sure engines are ready to face the elements in the air. #AVgeek #jetengine #engineering
This Ultra Performance Heat Exchanger is a perfect example of how small parts can make a HUGE difference. Still in development, the additively manufactured compact heat exchanger is printed with a high-temperature capable, crack-resistant nickel superalloy that will be able to withstand temps that exceed 1,650°F at pressures >3,600 psi. Good thing, too, because it’s headed straight for the inside of a gas turbine, where it’s projected to deliver a 4% improvement in thermal efficiency for supercritical C02 power cycles while improving power output and reducing emissions. Cleaner, more efficient power generation here we come.
Slice into an additively-made part from @geadditive and you’ll see geometries once thought impossible with traditional manufacturing methods. Why the hype? Engineers can now find greater strength and efficiency through design. #engineering #additive #3Dprinting #manufacturing
What happens when cutting-edge technology meets unparalleled performance? The CFM* LEAP engine of course. So what makes this engine so amazing? We can think of a few reasons… ➡️It includes the first-ever 3D-woven fiber composite fan blades and fan case ➡️CMCs give it 20% greater temperature capability ➡️It’s the first engine to use 3D-printed parts for critical engine components ➡️It delivers 15% percent better fuel efficiency than its predecessor
Spooky season is here, but don't let your annual mammogram scare you. Nearly 30% of women in the U.S. admit to skipping breast screenings out of fear. That's why @gehealthcare engineers decided to better the experience with a mammography system designed by women, for women. Melding comforting design with cutting edge technology, the Senographe Pristina aims to humanize the process for patients, technicians, and radiologists. #BCAM #Mammography #breastcancerawareness
