  2. Ice detector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_detector

    An ice detector is an instrument that detects the presence of ice on a surface. Ice detectors are used to identify the presence of icing conditions and are commonly used in aviation, [1] unmanned aircraft, [2] marine vessels, [3] wind energy, [4] and power lines. [5] Ice detection can be done with direct and indirect methods.

  3. Avionics software - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avionics_software

    Since most avionics manufacturers see software as a way to add value without adding weight, the importance of embedded software in avionic systems is increasing. Most modern commercial aircraft with auto-pilots use flight computers and so called flight management systems (FMS) that can fly the aircraft without the pilot's active intervention ...

    FuelPHP, ORM and framework for PHP, released under the MIT license. Based on the ActiveRecord pattern. Laminas, framework that includes a table data gateway and row data gateway implementations; Qcodo, ORM and framework, open source; Redbean, ORM layer for PHP, for creating and maintaining tables on the fly, open source, BSD

  5. Aircraft systems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_systems

    Aircraft that regularly operate in icing conditions have systems to detect and prevent ice forming (anti-icing) and/or remove the ice accumulation after it has formed (de-icing). This can be achieved by heating the spaces in internal structure with engine bleed air, chemical treatment, electrical heating and expansion/contraction of the skin ...

  6. Environmental control system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_control_system

    In aeronautics, an environmental control system (ECS) of an aircraft is an essential component which provides air supply, thermal control and cabin pressurization for the crew and passengers. Additional functions include the cooling of avionics , smoke detection , and fire suppression .

  7. Ground deicing of aircraft - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_deicing_of_aircraft

    This can be done visually or by means of specially designed Ground Ice Detection Systems. [2] If frost, ice, or snow contamination is observed or suspected, the aircraft must undergo a deicing procedure before takeoff, using one or more of the methods listed below.

  8. Ice protection system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_protection_system

    Ice buildup can change the shape of airfoils and flight control surfaces, degrading control and handling characteristics as well as performance. An anti-icing, de-icing, or ice protection system either prevents formation of ice, or enables the aircraft to shed the ice before it becomes dangerous.

  9. Integrated modular avionics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_Modular_Avionics

    ARINC 650 and ARINC 651 provide general purpose hardware and software standards used in an IMA architecture. However, parts of the API involved in an IMA network has been standardized, such as: ARINC 653 for the software avionics partitioning constraints to the underlying Real-time operating system (RTOS), and the associated API
