Aircraft skin is full of rivets, smooth or rough. My question is: can't welding be used in stead of rivets?


  • Welding could be a problem if and when you need to open the panels.
  • Welding is not ideal for systems that are experience vibration, hence fatigue.
  • Resistance welding, which is I have seen used on thin sections, would be too difficult for the assembly stage. I believe it would be used on large sections before the assembly stage.

Hey guys. I was reading up on the M-95 and M-84D tanks of Croatia/Slovenia, I was wondering what the differences between the two tanks are.

Re: How do developers get their knowledge in developing military hardwares?

The military learned from battlefields the drawbacks of their current equipment, draw up a request list to enhance their future fighting machines. The manufacturers developed according to military's spec.

Science fictions has also some influences on the imaginations of the hareware developer, and new innovations are born such as laser = death rays of alient UFO etc.

I know this is not taught in the books at college.

Its up to the individuals to innovate from proven theories etc.
