Military aviation encompasses the use of aircraft by armed forces for defence, combat, transport, surveillance, and various other operations. It covers a wide range of aircraft types, including fighters, bombers, transport planes and helicopters. These aircraft are designed to perform specialised tasks under challenging conditions, such as high-speed manoeuvres or prolonged operations in diverse environments and under harsh weather.
Lubrication is critical in military aviation because it ensures the reliable performance and longevity of aircraft components under extreme conditions. Proper lubrication reduces friction, prevents wear and corrosion, and helps maintain the mechanical integrity of engines, gears, and other moving parts. This is vital for maintaining the operational readiness and safety of military aircraft, which often face intense and demanding missions.
