Wire Integrity Field Survey of USAF Legacy Aircraft

Abstract

Wiring is so fundamental to current aerospace equipment that we often forget it is a system unto itself The aging of a wire system can result in loss of critical functions in equipment powered by the system or in loss of critical information regarding the operation of certain parts of the equipment. Either result can lead to catastrophic equipment failure or to smoke and fire. Consequently, the safety of aerospace wire systems is an issue of major importance to us all.
