New (e-)takeoff for aviation industry

New technologies, from robotics to machine learning, are ushering in a period of rapid change and development. While the aviation industry is working to reap the benefits of this industrial automation, standards, especially those of ISO/TC 184/SC 4, will play a key role in ensuring a smooth flight path – but only if they can keep up.

Sample standards

Space systems — Safety requirements
Part 1: System safety

Space systems — Programme management — Risk management

Space systems — Launch pad and integration site — Facility, system and equipment failure analysis

Space systems — Dynamic and static analysis — Exchange of mathematical models

Space systems — Launch-vehicle-to-spacecraft interfaces

Space systems — Structural design — Determination of loading levels for static qualification testing of launch vehicles
