Study Notes
Aircraft Hardware
- Aircraft hardware refers to the various types of fasteners and miscellaneous small items used to manufacture and repair aircraft.
Fasteners and Bolts
- Substitution of fasteners installed by the manufacturer can only be done with fasteners that have all of the same characteristics as the original.
- The main difference between a bolt and a screw is that a typical screw can work on its own, while a bolt requires a nut to secure it.
- Bolts are used where great strength is required, and screws are used where strength is not the deciding factor.
