American Society of Quality Dinner Forum
In 2019, so far, 4.5 billion people have flown around the world with only 222 fatality (4.9 e -9) in total. We will review some aviation history, talk about what reliability in aviation means to engineers & how the system is designed to prevent failures. In addition, a Reliability Block Diagram (RBD) & breakdown failures for a Twin Engine Commercial Aircraft will be discussed when component in series & in parallel start to fail. Finally, we will discuss the aviation challenges that the flying cars need to deal with in future at all levels with respect to the lessons learned in aviation.
