A Methodology for Assessing Inlet Swirl DistortionAIR5686 (Current)7/31/2026
This Aerospace Information Report (AIR) addresses the subject of aircraft inlet-swirl distortion. A structured methodology for characterizing steady-state swirl distortion in terms of swirl descriptors and for correlating the swirl descriptors with loss in stability pressure ratio is presented. The methodology is to be considered in conjunction with other SAE inlet distortion methodologies. In particular, the combined effects of swirl and total-pressure distortion on stability margin are considered. However, dynamic swirl, i.e., time-variant swirl, is not considered. The implementation of the swirl assessment methodology is shown through both computational and experimental examples. Different types of swirl distortion encountered in various engine installations and operations are described, and case studies which highlight the impact of swirl on engine stability are provided. Supplemental material is included in the appendices. This AIR is issued to bring together information and ideas required to address the inlet-swirl problem for which common industry practice has yet to be established. This document should foster the tests and analyses necessary to mature the ideas proposed by the committee to a recommended practice. These tests and analyses must include information that justifies three main features of the proposed swirl methodology: (1) swirl descriptors for correlating inlet swirl and stability pressure ratio loss, (2) computational techniques for analyzing compression systems (inlets, fans, compressors), and (3) test protocols (instrumentation and test techniques). The committee anticipates serving the industry by using such information to establish the consensus necessary for issuance of an SAE recommended practice.

Remote Steering Control SystemsJ2588_202607 (Current)7/23/2026
This SAE Information Report establishes a uniform procedure for assuring the manufactured quality, installed utility, and performance of automotive remote steering controls other than those provided by the vehicle manufacturer (OEM). These products are intended to provide driving capability to persons with physical disabilities. The adaptive modifications seek to compensate for lost or reduced function in the extremities of the driver with a disability. Remote steering controls are designed to provide a steering input device alternative to the OEM steering wheel that either reduces the required input force, changes the required range of motion or changes the location of the steering control, or any combination of the above. These controls supplement by power, other than by the driver’s own muscular efforts, the force output of the driver with a disability. Because this is an Information Report, the numerical values for performance measurements presented in this report and in the accompanying Test Procedure, while based upon the best knowledge available at the time, have not been validated by a testing of the Test Procedure.

Use Cases for Wireless Charging Communication for Plug-in Electric VehiclesJ2836/6_202606 (Current)6/24/2026
This SAE Information Report SAE J2836/6 establishes use cases for communication between plug-in electric vehicles and the EVSE for wireless energy transfer as specified in SAE J2954. It addresses the requirements for communications between the on-board charging system and the wireless EV supply equipment (WEVSE) in support of detection of the WEVSE, the charging process, and monitoring of the charging process. Since the communication to the charging infrastructure and the power grid for smart charging will also be communicated by the WEVSE to the EV over the wireless interface, these requirements are also covered. However, the processes and procedures are expected to be identical to those specified for V2G communications specified in SAE J2836/1. Where relevant, the specification notes interactions that may be required between the vehicle and vehicle operator, but does not formally specify them. Similarly, communications between the on-board charging sub-system and the on-board vehicle electronics is not formally specified in this document. This document will be published as a set of steps. The intent of step 1 was to record as much information on “what we think works” and publish. The intent of step 2 is to provide refinement and missing pieces to step 1, with a an eye to early testing. This version is step 2, with the aim of providing a communication protocol for home chargers.

Requirements for a COTS Assembly Management PlanEIA933D (Current)4/20/2026
This document applies to the development of Plans for integrating and managing COTS assemblies in electronic equipment and Systems for the commercial, military, and space markets, as well as other ADHP markets that wish to use this document. For purposes of this document, COTS assemblies are viewed as electronic assemblies such as printed wiring assemblies, disk drives, servers, printers, laptop computers, etc. There are many ways to categorize COTS assemblies1, including the following spectrum: At one end of the spectrum are COTS assemblies whose design, internal parts2, materials, configuration control, traceability, reliability, and qualification methods are at least partially controlled, or influenced, by ADHP customers (either individually or collectively) or by industry standards. An example at this end of the spectrum is a VME circuit card assembly. At the other end of the spectrum are COTS assemblies whose design, internal parts, materials, configuration control, and qualification methods are not controlled, or controllable, in any way by ADHP customers (either individually or collectively) or by industry standards. An example is a disk drive targeted for an industry other than ADHP use. It is critical for the Plan owner to: (1) review and understand the design, internal parts, materials, configuration control, reliability, and qualification methods of all “as-received” COTS assemblies and their capabilities with respect to their application in the intended System and environment; (2) identify risks; and where necessary (3) take additional action to mitigate the risks associated with the performance and reliability of the COTS assembly in the ADHP system.

This SAE Information Report identifies and documents the AI implementation challenges in the following areas: Technical Challenges (see Section 4): Focusing on the technical hurdles to develop AI models from data for complex human-like functions such as recognition, comprehension, and decision-making. Some AI technologies that do not necessarily involve learning from data, such as search algorithms, will not be considered. Operational Challenges (see Section 5): Focusing on the unique difficulties to deploy AI in ground vehicles and supporting infrastructure. These difficulties arise, for example, from issues like cost, environmental concerns, safety, security, etc. Regulatory Challenges (see Section 6): AI-related regulations are rapidly evolving. This section provides an overview of the key AI regulations at the present and some of the challenges to meet them in the ground vehicle domain. Where applicable, this technical report also provides references to AI-related International Standards (IS), Technical Reports (TR), Technical Specifications (TS), and Information Reports (IR) produced by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and SAE International (SAE) that address the challenges listed. For brevity, the authors of this report use the general term “Standards” to reference all the above types of documentation referenced. The full list of these standards is included in Section 2. In addition, the authors of this report are restricting the standard’s scope to only published documents and did not include any other type of literature due to space limitations and keeping the report focused. The functional definitions and noted issues and concerns are provided consistent with current industry mobility practices and published peer-reviewed literature. The mitigation examples in this document are not concepts that are necessarily independent of each other. Additionally, some mitigations can conflict with others. For the development of a project, an approach is to use systems engineering to design and implement mitigations, synergizing where possible and performing trade-offs where needed to achieve the system requirements (including applicable regulations and standards).

Oil Systems for Helicopter PowerplantsAIR4281A (Current)3/13/2026
Turbine engines installed in helicopters require a highly sophisticated oil system to fulfill two primary tasks: Cooling/oil supply Lubrication of rotating components (bearings, shafts, gears, etc.) While lubrication is an engine internal operation, depending on the engine oil system configuration, cooling and oil supply may require more or less design activity on the aircraft side of the engine/airframe interface for proper engine function. The necessity for engine cooling and oil supply provisions on the airframe can lead to interface problems because the helicopter manufacturer can influence engine related functions due to the design of corresponding oil system components.
