Quicker Than a Cuppa'

Abstract

Replacing jet engine compressor blades (by all the world's airlines) is both a time‐consuming and costly exercise. But help is on the way. A new technique called adaptive milling has now been developed by two British companies which will enable existing but eroded blades to be repaired in less time than it takes to make a traditional cup of char!
