Our Plymouth service centre yesterday held a bake sale for a local charity, The Core youth and community centre in Saltash. The whole team got wholeheartedly involved and raised £372.60.

As well as the money, the team donated boxes and boxes of toys, games, arts & craft supplies, sports equipment, and cuddly toys for The Core's after school clubs.

The whole event was devised and organised by the team and the staff at The Core were blown away by the generosity.

Despite being a very lightweight metal, even when alloyed, aluminium still accounts for 80% of the weight of an average modern aircraft.

Why are aluminium alloys so popular in aerospace engineering? Their strength-to-weight-to-cost ratio is unbeatable and the inherent corrosion resistance of aluminium extends the lifespan of the aircraft and reduces maintenance costs.

Different alloys are useful for different applications; 4342 for example is ideal for structural elements in the fuselage due to its strength, toughness, and its ability to withstand stress. Whereas in the wings, ribs and tension members are often made from 7075, due to its higher tensile strength and lower weight.

Today marks 70 years since the Routemaster bus was introduced to the world at Earl's Court Commercial Motor Show, before being quickly rolled out onto London's streets. Seating more people and yet lighter than the buses it was replacing, the Routemaster was easier to build, more fuel efficient, and much easier to operate.

The key to this was the extensive use of aluminium, especially in the bodywork of the bus, utilising engineering techniques pioneered in aircraft production during the previous ten years. The lower cost of procuring and working with aluminium made the production of the Routemaster much more attractive than many alternatives, while the lighter weight reduced fuel consumption and made it far more nimble amidst the capital's traffic.

Coupling this lighter structure with the first use on a bus of power steering, power-hydraulic braking, and an automatic gearbox made the Routemaster a welcome change to its cumbersome predecessors for both drivers and passengers. In fact, the Routemaster stayed in regular use on London's bus routes for fifty years and was so popular that it was voted one of the country's top 10 design icons shortly after it was finally withdrawn from service.
