Course detail: Systems and Safety for Electric/Hybrid-Electric Aircraft and Urban Air Mobility
Description
Electric and hybrid-electric technologies and autonomy pose a unique set of challenges. Nevertheless, using these technologies, the opportunity exists to create novel fault tolerant and redundant architectures. In this course, students gain practical knowledge of the certification approach afforded by Part 23 Amendment 64 applied to non-traditional aircraft types. Students will consider the application of industry consensus standards for electrical propulsions systems, energy storage systems and sense and avoid. They will recognize different techniques for the creation of safety process artifacts, including Functional Hazard Analysis (FHA), Fault Tree Analysis (FTA), Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and Failure Modes Effects Summary (FMES), and how these might be performed on a complex electric or hybrid-electric aircraft that could incorporate vertical takeoff and landing capabilities. Throughout the course, agile techniques are considered in order that the safety process can guide the design and development of the aircraft.
Learning Objectives
Who Should Attend?
This course is designed for Part 23 and Part 33 systems/ safety and certification engineers and those involved in the certification of electric and hybrid-electric non-traditional aircraft types. The course assumes a basic understanding of the safety process and certification of a type design aircraft and caters to those wishing to achieve an advanced understanding of how the processes might be adapted to non-traditional aircraft types.

Learning Objectives
- Knowledge to be able to adapt the safety process for non-traditional aircraft types and technologies
- Challenges/opportunities afforded by electric and hybrid-electric architectures
- Challenges/opportunities afforded by a self-piloted aircraft with a sense and avoid capability
- An understanding of different techniques for the creation of safety process artifacts such as FHA, FTA, FMEA/FMES and model based systems/safety engineering
- Knowledge of how to integrate the artifacts of the safety process.
