An electrical wiring interconnect system ( EWIS) is the wiring system and components (such as bundle clamps, wire splices, etc.) for a complex system. The term originated in the aviation industry but was originally designated as Electrical Interconnection Systems (EIS). [1] The change from EIS to EWIS was done to emphasize the focus on the ...
A reference designator unambiguously identifies the location of a component within an electrical schematic or on a printed circuit board. The reference designator usually consists of one or two letters followed by a number, e.g. C3, D1, R4, U15. The number is sometimes followed by a letter, indicating that components are grouped or matched with ...
A conventional fixed-wing aircraft flight control system ( AFCS) consists of flight control surfaces, the respective cockpit controls, connecting linkages, and the necessary operating mechanisms to control an aircraft's direction in flight. Aircraft engine controls are also considered flight controls as they change speed.
Fly-by-wire ( FBW) is a system that replaces the conventional manual flight controls of an aircraft with an electronic interface. The movements of flight controls are converted to electronic signals transmitted by wires, and flight control computers determine how to move the actuators at each control surface to provide the ordered response.
U-384/U (Nexus TP-105), similar to U-174/U but with 5 conductors and slightly longer length of 0.901 in (22.9 mm) Type 671, also known as UK NATO or European NATO 10H/18575, with a diameter of 7.57 mm (0.298 in). NATO Stock Number 5935-99-946-6652. XLR 5, used internally on Airbus aircraft
Aircraft engine controls. Aircraft engine controls provide a means for the pilot to control and monitor the operation of the aircraft's powerplant. This article describes controls used with a basic internal-combustion engine driving a propeller. Some optional or more advanced configurations are described at the end of the article.
Line-replaceable unit. A line-replaceable unit ( LRU [1] ), lower line-replaceable unit ( LLRU ), [citation needed] line-replaceable component ( LRC ), or line-replaceable item ( LRI) [2] is a modular component of an airplane, [3] ship or spacecraft [4] (or any other manufactured device) that is designed to be replaced quickly at an operating ...
