New (e-)takeoff for aviation industry

New technologies, from robotics to machine learning, are ushering in a period of rapid change and development. While the aviation industry is working to reap the benefits of this industrial automation, standards, especially those of ISO/TC 184/SC 4, will play a key role in ensuring a smooth flight path – but only if they can keep up.

Sample standards

General purpose push-pull three-pole circuit-breakers for aircraft — Performance requirements

General purpose push-pull single-pole circuit-breakers for aircraft — Performance requirements

Dosimetry for exposures to cosmic radiation in civilian aircraft
Part 3: Measurements at aviation altitudes

Flight dynamics — Vocabulary
Part 11: Control system

Space systems — Methods to decide thermal vacuum test cycles of recurring production according to precipitation efficiency and reliability

Space systems — Space Traffic Coordination (STC)
