The SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) focuses on the impact of alkali metal-based runway deicers (potassium acetate, potassium formate, and sodium acetate, and sodium formate) have on in-service aircraft EWIS components.
The thermal modeling guidelines and best practices provided in this document are applicable to powered aerospace vehicle wires and wire bundles in thermal environments ranging from -65 to +260 °C (-85 to +500 °F) and pressures ranging from sea level to space vacuum. Currently the ARP only considers steady state and direct current conditions. The effects of wiring terminations and connectors are not addressed. Both can significantly impact the overall current derating and safety margins for a wiring system.
This standard is applicable to manual soldering and machine soldering processes utilizing controlled soldering devices, for electrical connections for wiring and cabling used in aerospace vehicles. Description of a component or device herein is not to be construed as authorizing the use of the component or device.
This document covers the general recommendations for Transverse Electromagnetic Mode (TEM) Transmission Lines intended for use in airborne systems (see 6.2.14). For U.S military applications, TEM Transmission Lines shall meet the requirements in accordance with MIL-T-81490. The follow index lists the recommended requirements and methods covered by the Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP):
This SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) is limited to the subject of compatibility of wiring as part of aircraft Electrical Wiring and Interconnect Systems (EWIS) installed in and around aircraft fuel tanks.
This document presents design and application information which will allow optimized utilization of filter line wire and cable purchased to AS85485. Filter line wire is defined and design information is presented. The electrical and mechanical performance characteristics of the wire, along with recommended harnessing methods and techniques, are also presented.
This specification covers all aspects in Electrical Wiring Interconnection Systems (EWIS) from the selection through installation of wiring and wiring devices and optical cabling and termination devices used in aerospace vehicles. Aerospace vehicles include manned and unmanned airplanes, helicopters, lighter-than-air vehicles, missiles, and external pods.
This ARP specifies the recommended methods of marking electrical wiring and harnesses to aid in the positioning/routing of electrical wiring, harnesses and cable assemblies.
This specification applies to complete cable assemblies (using either molded on or attachable plugs) used to connect external electric power to aircraft and to attachable plugs used as replacement for plugs damaged in service.
This SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) is limited to the subject of compatibility of wiring as part of aircraft Electrical Wiring and Interconnect Systems (EWIS) installed in and around aircraft fuel tanks.
This SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) discusses the often overlooked relationship between hot stamp marking and the environmental conditions that contribute aircraft wiring problems and discusses current beliefs of military service experts, regulatory agencies and industry standard writing bodies about the potential hazards imposed by the hot stamping process.
