Modern aircraft depend on various highly precise instruments to achieve safe flight, with many of these devices being classified under Federal Supply Class (FSC) 6610 to allow military, aviation, and other professionals to easily secure upgrades and replacements. This category encompasses a wide range of instruments designed to measure critical flight parameters, including airspeed, altitude, rate of climb, and aircraft orientation. In this blog, we will explore FSC 6610 and the items found within it, describing their designs and distinct roles in helping pilots to maintain stable and controlled flight.

Seals and spacers are common components used in a wide variety of applications and industries, especially in the aerospace sector. With hundreds of mechanical devices in close proximity within a given aerostructure, these devices help prevent the wear and risk of failure associated with friction. Although seals and spacers can be composed of any stable material, rubber has quickly become a popular choice in general aviation and spacecraft. In this blog, we will explore the rationale behind the switch to rubber elements to support demanding applications.
