As civil aircraft electrical systems become more complicated, electrical wiring failures have become a huge concern in industry and government—especially on aging platforms. There have been several accidents (most recently battery problems on the Boeing 777) with some of these having a relationship to wiring and power generation.
Featuring a case study on the continuous safety assessment process of the civil airborne electrical power system, this book addresses problems, issues and troubleshooting techniques such as single event effects (SEE), the failure effects of electrical wiring interconnection systems (EWIS), formal theories and safety analysis methods in civil aircrafts.
- Introduces how to conduct assignment of development assurance levels for the electrical power system
- Includes safety assessments of aging platforms and their respective Electrical Wiring Interconnection System (EWIS)
- Features material on failure mechanisms for wiring systems and discussion of Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) sustainment
Aerospace engineers, aircraft engineers, safety engineers, and civil aviation authorities concerned with safety of aircraft systems. Undergrad and postgrad aerospace engineering students
