The digital revolution comes to Aircraft Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO)PMI-Montréal
A commercial transport aircraft has been described as a million parts flying in close formation. Maintaining detailed records on all of these parts and components is both a regulatory and a “good business” requirement-- a massive, hugely paper-intensive activity
Now however, the digital revolution offers the opportunity to transform maintenance by removing paper in favor of electronic record-keeping. The ultimate goal is to simplify maintenance operations using paperless technologies, thereby facilitating regulatory compliance and enabling new processes that will drive down costs.
Join us for a special breakfast meeting on Tuesday 12 May at IATA’s offices for a presentation by IATA Senior Vice President, Safety and Flight Operations, Capt. Kevin Hiatt, and the project lead, Dr. Chris Markou, as they provide first-hand insights into how this immense project will impact the future of aviation.
Speakers

The document summarizes a thesis on the development of a quad-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle powered by cross-flow fans. It describes the design and testing of a third-generation vehicle with improvements in airframe simplification, weight reduction, and structural rigidity over previous designs. Key features of the new design include carbon fiber frame clamps, intake and exhaust housings, and end plates for the rotors. The vehicle was built using commercially available components and 3D printed parts. Flight testing demonstrated it could achieve vertical takeoff and full control in pitch, yaw, and roll.
The document discusses the costs of delays and cancellations for airlines. It finds that over 20% of flights in 2004 in the US and EU were delayed or cancelled, costing airlines billions. Approximately 30-60% of delays are within an airline's control, with maintenance issues causing around 10% of delays. The costs of delays increase significantly with duration, with operating costs alone being over $50 per minute and total costs including passenger time being over $120 per minute for an A320. The document recommends airlines improve planning accuracy to avoid controllable delays, increase visibility of delay impacts to make better recovery decisions, and allow for more proactive cancellations to decrease costs from uncontrollable delays.

Study: The Future of VR, AR and Self-Driving CarsLinkedIn
We asked LinkedIn members worldwide about their levels of interest in the latest wave of technology: whether they’re using wearables, and whether they intend to buy self-driving cars and VR headsets as they become available. We asked them too about their attitudes to technology and to the growing role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the devices that they use. The answers were fascinating – and in many cases, surprising.
This SlideShare explores the full results of this study, including detailed market-by-market breakdowns of intention levels for each technology – and how attitudes change with age, location and seniority level. If you’re marketing a tech brand – or planning to use VR and wearables to reach a professional audience – then these are insights you won’t want to miss.
Standards and Specifications for Ground Processing of Space Vehicles: From an...John Ingalls
Proprietary or unique designs and operations are expected early in any industry's development, and often provide a competitive early market advantage. However, there comes a time when a product or industry requires standardization for the whole industry to advance...or survive. For the space industry, that time has come. Here, we will focus on standardization of ground processing for space vehicles and their ground systems.
To successfully grow the viability of the space industry, all members, commercial and government, will need to engage cooperatively in developing and applying standards to move toward interoperability. If we leverage and combine the best existing space standards and specifications, develop new ones to address known gaps, and adapt the best applicable features from other industries, we can establish an infrastructure to not only accelerate current development, but also build longevity for a more cohesive international space community.
Integrated Procedures for Flight and Ground Operations Using International St...John Ingalls
This document summarizes John Ingalls' presentation at the 2011 International Astronautical Congress on optimizing technical publications. It discusses how technical publications are used for ground processing, on the Space Shuttle, and on the International Space Station. It introduces the S1000D specification as the next generation standard for technical publications and how it could benefit the space industry. The document also outlines related specifications for integrated logistics support.
The document discusses an analysis of a First Revenue Satellite (FRS) for space solar power. It summarizes that a full-scale SSP system may not be commercially viable. An FRS operating at ~5MW could demonstrate SSP operations for niche markets like remote military bases that pay $1-2/kWh for fuel-generated power. It models the economics of a notional 5MW FRS concept using the CABAM financial tool, examining different levels of government contribution to lower the break-even price per kWh from $23 without contribution to $7 with full funding of development/acquisition costs.
DARPA is exploring new space technologies to reduce costs and increase access to space.

Annual PASS Failures Vs Known Product DRs J.K.Orr 2015-07-14James Orr
This document summarizes data on failures in the Space Shuttle Primary Avionics Software System (PASS) over its 30-year lifespan. It shows that the annual failure rate was correlated with the number of known product defects in the system each year, with about 6% of defects resulting in failures during operational use. Over time, more latent defects were discovered through testing and development, improving the known quality of the software. By studying this data, failure rates in future flight software systems may be better predicted based on the number of undiscovered defects remaining in the system.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
