A Look at Aircraft Fastener Types

Posted on

In the 1480s, Leonardo da Vinci drew over 100 illustrations that constituted the first real studies on human flight. One of these, a pen-and-ink sketch of a flying machine similar to a modern helicopter, contained what da Vinci called an ‘aerial screw’ – perhaps the first true aircraft fastener type, similar to a water screw but working in the air instead of water. Fast forward 541 years and the number of domestic and global airline flights worldwide is an estimated 22.2 million (in 2021). And with the demand for more affordable flights, the aerospace industry is growing at a rapid pace – and with it, the need for more specialised aircraft fastener types. The number of aircraft fasteners (bolt or screws, rivets,

Manufacturers have used race cars for decades as vehicles of experimentation.  Specific race car fasteners that could endure the hardship of the track were certainly good enough for use in mass-production cars.  Fasteners are those small-but-essential components that hold two or more objects together. These nuts, washers, anchors, threaded rods, bolts, rivets, screws, bonnet pins and retaining rings consist of high-strength materials to endure the high demands and speeds of F1 circuits. Take bolts as an example. We use a bolt for a given application according to its grade as defined by the SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers). The rating scale runs from Grade 2 (the weakest) to Grade 8 (the strongest). Grade 2 bolts are low-carbon steel, and you’ll find
