Summary
Handles the entire process from material selection to processing, finishing, and inspection of aircraft propellers, ensuring high precision and safety in this technical role.
Description
Aircraft propeller manufacturing engineers are responsible for processes from propeller material selection to metal processing, heat treatment, surface finishing, balance adjustment, and quality inspection. As critical components supporting aircraft propulsion performance and safety, they require high processing precision and rigorous quality control. They operate CNC lathes and machining centers, verifying dimensions and balance using non-destructive testing and 3D measuring machines. They perform heat treatment and surface treatments suited to material properties, corrosion prevention processing, and collaborate with the design department on manufacturing process improvements, cost management, and delivery schedules.
Future Outlook
With the expansion of the aircraft industry and increasing civil aviation demand, demand for propeller aircraft and special-purpose aircraft is expected to remain stable. Due to the importance of high safety standards and quality control technologies, the need for skilled technicians will continue. Additionally, the introduction of new materials and lightweighting technologies will heighten expectations for high value-added propeller manufacturing technologies.
