It is the purpose of this document to present design recommendations that will provide a basis for satisfactory and safe electrical installations in transport aircraft. This document is not intended to be a complete electrical installation design handbook. However, the requirements for safety extend so thoroughly throughout the electric systems that few areas of the installation are untouched by the document. It is recognized that individual circumstances may alter the details of any design. It is, therefore, important that this document not be considered mandatory but be used as a guide to good electrical application and installation design. Transport aircraft electric systems have rapidly increased in importance over a number of years until they are now used for many functions necessary to the successful operation of the aircraft. An ever increasing number of these functions are critical to the safety of the aircraft and its occupants. The greatly increased power available in

AC-9 Aircraft Environmental Systems Committee
This SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) describes a method of conducting an endurance test using contaminated air when the applicable specification requires non-recirculation of the contaminants. The objective of the test is to determine the resistance of the engine mounted components to wear or damage caused by the contaminated air. The method described herein calls for non-recirculation of the contaminants and is intended to provide a uniform distribution of the contaminant at the inlet to the Unit Under Test (UUT). The UUT may require the use of a hydraulic fluid for actuation of components within the test unit. Contamination of the test hydraulic fluid is not part of this recommended practice. If contaminated hydraulic fluid is required by the applicable test specification, refer to MAP749
AC-9 Aircraft Environmental Systems Committee
This SAE Recommended Practice is intended for use in testing and evaluating the performance of electric cooling fan (ECF) assemblies typically used for vehicle engine cooling. Conducted in a laboratory environment with intended heat exchangers, the performance measurement includes fan output in terms of airflow and pressure and fan motor input in terms of voltage and current. This information can be used to calculate the efficiency of the assembly, including aerodynamic efficiency of the fan and shroud, and electrical efficiency of the motor. The electric power consumption can be used to estimate electrical charging system sizing and fuel economy. The performance of a given fan assembly depends on the installation details of the application, including the effects of system resistance and geometries of the grill, heat exchangers, engine and other underhood components, and front end components. This document provides guidance for duplicating such details in the test setup for accurate

Truck and Bus Brake Systems Committee
The environment and test waveforms defined in this SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) account for the best lightning data and analysis currently available. The quantified environment and levels herein represent the minimum currently required by certifying authorities, which is consistent with the approach applied in related lightning documents. Lightning, like other weather phenomenon, is probabilistic in nature. Levels and waveforms vary considerably from one flash to the next. Within this document, standardized voltage and current waveforms have been derived to represent the lightning environment external to an aircraft. These standardized waveforms are used to assess the effects of lightning on aircraft. The standardized external current waveforms have, in turn, been used to derive standardized transient voltage and current test waveforms that can be expected to appear on cable bundles and at equipment interfaces within an aircraft. When deriving these latter internal induced

Gasoline Fuel Injection Standards Committee
This SAE Recommended Practice is intended for use in testing and evaluating the approximate performance of engine-driven cooling fans. This performance would include flow, pressure, and power. This flow and pressure information is used to estimate the engine cooling performance. This power consumption is used to estimate net engine power per SAE J1349. The procedure also provides a general description of equipment necessary to measure the approximate fan performance. The test conditions in the procedure generally will not match those of the installation for which cooling and fuel consumption information is desired. The performance of a given fan depends on the geometric details of the installation, including the shroud and its clearance. These details should be duplicated in the test setup if accurate performance measurement is expected. The performance at a given air density and speed also depends on the volumetric flow rate, or the pressure rise across the fan, since these two

This SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) provides guidance to plan and perform validation and verification of IVHM systems. The intent of this ARP is to help the reader appreciate and understand additional objectives and activities of validation and verification processes, beyond validation and verification of the vehicle, that arise due to the nature of an IVHM System. This includes an end-to-end evaluation of the entire IVHM system, noting that IVHM is a “system of systems.” In order to perform validation and verification, the user must determine what they are using IVHM for, including the criticality of the application. The process should then determine appropriateness of the data corresponding to the application criticality. This document provides validation and verification guidance for IVHM as: (1) a system of systems, (2) a system, and (3) elements within a system. While this document is not intended to be prescriptive, it is a reference guide that highlights and discusses

This SAE Recommended Practice establishes a rating scale for subjective evaluation of vehicle ride and handling. The scale is applicable for the evaluation of specific vehicle ride and handling properties for specified maneuvers, road characteristics and driving conditions, and on proving ground and public roads. The validity of the evaluation is restricted to the individual ride and handling disciplines defined by these maneuvers and to the particular combination of conditions of the vehicle (e.g., equipment, degree of maintenance) and of the environment (e.g., road, weather). This rating scale may not be suitable for some applications, such as specific types of ride or handling qualities, driver populations and market segments, or for correlating with objective measures. Appendix A discusses rating scales that better suit such applications. This document is intended as a guide toward standard practice and is subject to change to keep pace with experience and technical advances
