The future of aerospace data communication

SAE 100 Future look: The aerospace industry is often under pressure to reduce costs while increasing aircraft capability and features.

While the life cycle of aircraft is increasing, the life cycle of electronic components is continually decreasing. Aircraft manufacturers focus on integrating various electromechanical systems and developing new functionalities towards an all-electronic aircraft. Therefore, system complexity is poised to rise, driving the need for proven Integrated Modular Avionics (IMA) platforms with a robust data bus at their core to share common resources in a safe way.

The TTP (Time-Triggered Protocol) bus from TTTech is an innovative communication data bus that is designed specifically for safety- and mission-critical systems. With its sophisticated architecture, this high-speed bus has the potential to reduce airline manufacturing and operating outlays and ultimately reduce the cost of air travel.
