The engine of an aircraft is what makes it so powerful, and it is the reason why modern aircraft like the Boeing 777-300s or the Airbus A330 can reach such high speeds. Also referred to as the aero-engine, the engines we equip our aircraft with, such as the F6-80E engine or the GE90-115B engine, are complex and fascinating. Here are a few interesting things you might not know about aero-engines.

Most aircraft utilize hydraulic systems, some more complex than others. These systems function using pressurized fluid based on Pascal's Law, which states that pressure exerted anywhere in a confined incompressible fluid is transmitted equally in all directions such that the pressure ratio stays the same. The main components found in these systems are reservoirs, pumps (i.e. vane and spur gears, fixed angles), pressure regulators, accumulators, valves, and actuators and filters.

For starters, the Fixed Based Operators association are given the right from airports to operate on their grounds to provide services. These services include hangaring, fueling, tie-down and parking, aircraft maintenance, flight instruction, aircraft rental and other similar services. Over time the way people have defined Fixed Base Operators has changed and evolved, because of that, it can hold different meanings in different countries or even regions of the world.
