    Introduction Almost all systems in an aircraft use electrical power in some capacity. Because of the complexity inherent in aircraft electrical design, electrical power considerations must be addressed early in the design process. More often than not, the testing of power system specifications is done only at the LRU/component level and not at the complete…

    Overview This section presents mechanical design and installation considerations with an emphasis on interface and coordination between engineering functions. The mechanical systems covered in this section include flight controls, hydraulics, landing gear, and the water and waste systems. Some of the interface and/or requirements data come from, or are related to, aerodynamics, autoflight, proximity and…

    Overview In this section the design and installation of the aircraft’s electrical and electronic wiring is discussed. Due to the complex nature of wiring installations, it cannot be overemphasized that coordination between the system designers and the electrical designers must begin at an early phase. Accessibility Due to the increasing role that electrical and electronic…

    This section addresses various electrical and mechanical installation considerations important to the systems engineer. The purpose of this section is to provide an introduction to installation methods and practices most applicable to the system designer. The intent is not to make the student an installations expert, but rather to provide interfacing and coordination information between…

  • Design for Safety

    Design for safety is a method of design in which safety analysis is integral to the design process, rather than “added on” at the end. This approach has been made necessary by the ethical, economic, and legal demands of modern airplane system design. The evolution of aircraft systems and standards requires an evolution in the…

    Overview After type certification, other issues must be dealt with on the way to issuance of an airworthiness certificate. In this section, the following subjects are covered: Changes to Type Design The holder of a Type Certificate (TC) may make changes to the TC, the procedures for which will depend on whether those changes are major or minor.…

    Aerodynamics is generally not considered an airplane system, but it is nevertheless a key design discipline in systems engineering. Airplanes are designed and built to make money for their owners. All aspects of design stem directly or indirectly from this primary goal. The most direct parameters are payload carried, range flown, fuel burned, and flight…

    CM Definition Configuration management (CM) is defined as the SE technical and administrative discipline applied over the lifecycle of a product. The five principles of CM are: CM planning and execution, configuration identification, configuration change and variance control, configuration status accounting, and configuration verification. CM Planning and Execution Broad CM planning and management are the…

    Supplier Management Introduction Systems engineering (SE) is a key participant in managing suppliers. Clear and accurate requirements are necessary for successful supplier performance, as is the ability of those suppliers to direct their own suppliers. Key suppliers will be involved in the full requirements process of analysis, allocation, and flow down. This will include requirements…
