Jet mechanics maintain and repair jet engines for commercial airlines, government and private companies. They must be certified by the FAA with an airframe and power plant (A&P) license, obtained through a structured program or 18 months of practical experience. They are responsible for keeping planes in perfect flying condition, including inspection and repair of […]
The jet engine was developed in the late 1930s as an alternative to propellers, accelerating a smaller mass of air to high speeds. The first jet aircraft was flown in 1939, and the design was implemented in the 1960s. Jet engines work through a four-stroke cycle and come in various designs for different speeds and […]
Jet mechanic jobs involve preventative maintenance, repairs, and inspections, with mechanics specializing in one area. Duties include repairing leaks, patching corrosion, and engine removal. Mechanics must work quickly and accurately to ensure safety. Inspectors supervise and review work. Jet mechanic jobs require formal training and good analytical and mechanical skills. Advancement opportunities include lead mechanic, […]
Jet aerators use small nozzles to release a jet of fluid to aerate liquids and slurries in process tanks. They rely on chopper pumps to macerate solids and prevent clogging. They are used in wastewater treatment, food and chemical processing, and can be customized for specific applications. Jet aerators are devices that aerate liquids and […]
The jet set were wealthy socialites who traveled the world to party and relax in the 1950s, using commercial airliners to reach destinations such as New York, London, and Paris. Paparazzi emerged to photograph them, and the term evolved to describe those who traveled on private jets. As air travel became more affordable, the jet […]
Jet ventilation is a high-frequency air delivery system used in hospitals for patients with low oxygen levels that do not improve with normal mechanical ventilation. It provides a high respiratory rate and small tidal volumes to reach lung tissue. It is used for premature infants, pediatric trauma patients, and adults with acute respiratory distress syndrome. […]
