It’s not only enthusiastic aerobatic pilots who are astounded by what aerobatic legend Péter Besenyei demonstrates in the video. The Hungarian chose the Corinth Canal as the setting for his spectacular demonstration, which since 1893 has separated the Greek mainland from the Peloponnese peninsula. The sea level canal measures six kilometers in length and nearly 25 meters in width. Besenyei’s airplane has a wing span of around eight meters, which requires complete concentration and precision, as you can see.

300 mm, 8,000 g, +/–0.005 mm
Maximum precision is also a must when our customers use our Multigrind^® grinding machines to machine components for the aerospace industry. A good example is this conical ball nose cutter made from alloyed tool steel (HSS). In just two and a half hours, an 8 kg blank measuring 300 mm in length can be transformed into a high-precision machining tool (precision +/–0.005 mm), which can then be used to make turbine blades for jet engines.

If you’d like to know more about our solutions for the aerospace industry, please feel free tosend me an e-mail.

So until then – have a good flight and keep grinding with attitude!
