DESCRIPTION

Two key elements of aeronautics system are that they must be embedded in the aircraft, and highly dependable. Airbus airplanes are providing practical examples of such systems. “Embedded systems” in a broad sense are key levers to optimise airplane. Indeed, success of an airplane design depends heavily on the functions that are provided by embedded systems and on the level of synergy between airplane and system functions design. Systems supporting vehicle control functions are fully embedded in the airplane avionics, but also in structure and flight mechanics, to the benefit of reduced structural weight, and enhanced manoeuvrability. An integral design process is applied. The architecture of these systems is based on the sub-functions they have to implement; the technologies are selected to address all the multiple requirements of these functions, including the specificities of aeronautics such as dependability, long time supportability, market specificities. The presentation is based on the experience accrued during the development and the in-service support of the Airbus family, from A320 to A350, on fly-by-wire systems and other related systems

Definition of a system

AIRCRAFT SYSTEM OVERVIEW

A combination of inter-related items arranged to perform a specific functions(s), see ARP 4754.

Example, an airplane is a system:

• which is a component of the transport system,

• which is, itself, made up of several airborne systems.

To Ensure and Preserve

AIRWORTHINESS and

AVIATION SAFETY

Airworthiness regulation is a legal obligation contracted by States signatories of the ICAO Convention

•Chicago Convention, signed 7th December 1944, established the International Civil Aviation Organization.

•To undertake International Air Transport, each nation has to be a signatory (currently 188 nations)

•« FAILURE CONDITION » DEFINITION FROM CS 25 1309

• A « Failure Condition » is defined at each system level by its effects on the functioning of the system. It is characterised by its effects on the other

systems and on the aircraft.

All single failures or combination of failures including failures of other systems that have the same effect on the considered system are grouped

together in the same « Failure Condition »

Safety margins are taken too, based on each manufacturer unique

history. Confidence in the safety case: meaning of 10-9, what is a single

failure, coverage of tests etc. Not a pure mathematical demonstration Rigorous analysis with independent checks

INTEGRATION

The worldwide leader in air and space platforms and systems Become the worldwide leader in air and space platforms and systems (mainly platform-related systems architecture and integration) with a complete portfolio of products, both commercial

and governmental (commercial aircraft, military transport, mission aircraft, helicopters, fighters, UAVs, missiles, launchers, satellites, systems and secure networks).

Profitability Achieve best-in-class operational and financial efficiency to reach 10% EBIT in the first half of

the decade 2010-2020. Focus on core and optimize financial means

Focus on core. This means a new business model approach and the reallocation of human/financial resources which are currently locked in non-core legacy activities.

Divestments in non-core areas have to be implemented. Balanced revenues

Achieve around €80bn turnover by 2020 and reach a 50/50 balance in Airbus / other Divisions' revenues.

Mission-critical service provider to our customers Achieve a 25% services share – against 10% – of business by 2020 (hence €20bn), focusing on high-value services initially related to platforms, requiring and developing both customer

intimacy and product intimacy. Globalisation

Become a true global industrial company with 40% of EADS sourcing and 20% of EADS employees outside of Europe. Achieve $10bn revenues in North America in non-Airbus

businesses and gain a prime position with US Government. Moving towards an eco-efficient enterprise

Move towards an eco-efficient company. Environmental issues are to become a transversal driver towards sustainable development. Airbus' ambitious targets are already defined. To be

done for non-Airbus Divisions.

•Some lessons

The system will function if properly integrated within its environment (other systems,

platform, people …)

requirements are correctly integrated (no inconsistency, correct balance between requirements)

The system will be successful if the overall aircraft (at least) is successful (= if optimisation is

done at aircraft level)

for the whole development & in-service life of the aircraft

the customer needs are well understood

Safety is the priority in aviation – flying is safe Nothing is granted Duty for continuous improvement

Need to forecast future threat

Continuous need to Look at the global picture (complete airplane, design ..

Certification .. In-service, stack of redundancy vs. common point) Management to be supportive and pro-active

Never compromise on safety & ethics
