Affect on Avionics of Aircraft Electrical Malfunction Background T

Modern aircraft employ a variety of electronic innovations. Many of these components greatly improve airplane electrical system function. This paper will describe current avionics systems. Such avionics may be less vulnerable to the electrical malfunction. In addition, various other innovations in aircraft electrical system design will also be discussed. Such systems may improve safety through the provision of electronic monitoring and fault detection capabilities. Finally, the paper will look at Air Force programs that promise to further advance aircraft electrical system performance.

Perhaps the most innovative aircraft in recent times, the Boeing 777 is a large twin-engine jet transport aircraft designed for regional and longer range operations. It's electrical system represents a "response to market demands for superior performance and reliability (Andrade & Tenning 4-11)." The system was designed to protect against both ele

failure detection, such systems must constantly measure the electrical system's different output variables. At nominal conditions, these variables generally follow some known pattern (i.e., within a certain degree of uncertainty; deviations may result from system disturbances). When failures occur, the observable output variables typically deviate from their nominal, predictable trajectories. It is these unusual deviations which must be recognized by failure detection devices (Napolitano et al. 999-1003). In the Boeing 777, the electrical system automation is performed by state-of-the-art, microprocessor-based control units. These components perform system control, protection, and built-in-test functions (Andrade & Tenning 4-11). For example, the Electrical Load Management System (ELMS) monitors and controls the distribution of the aircraft's power (Cook 37-38). In addition, a generator control unit (GCU) and a bus power control unit (BPCU) also manage electrical power. These components use the structured Ada high-level software language to provide control, protection, and built-in-test functions. A primary function of the Electrical Load Management System is to ensure the continuity of essential functions. For examp
