Abstract: A method of forming a protective coating. The method includes providing a substrate including at least one chemical element and a surface; forming a basecoat composition including an aluminium phase including aluminium; applying the basecoat composition on the surface of the substrate to form a basecoat layer; heating the basecoat layer to a first temperature for a predetermined period of time; applying a glow discharge plasma on the basecoat layer; and heating the basecoat layer to a second temperature greater than the first temperature, in order to activate an exothermic reaction between at least the aluminium phase of the basecoat layer and the at least one chemical element of the substrate, wherein the exothermic reaction forms the protective coating on the surface of the substrate.

Abstract: A power system for an aircraft includes one or more gas turbine engines arranged to burn a fuel so as to provide power to the aircraft; a plurality of fuel tanks each arranged to contain a fuel to be used to provide power to the aircraft; and a fuel manager. At least two of the fuel tanks contain different fuels, which have different proportions of a sustainable aviation fuel. The fuel manager is arranged to store information on the fuel contained in each fuel tank; and to control fuel supply so as to select a specific fuel accordingly to power at least the majority of operations on the ground. The fuel manager may additionally identify which tank contains the fuel with the highest proportion of a sustainable aviation fuel; and that fuel may be used to power at least the majority of operations on the ground.
