The Secrets Of Airbus A350

A demonstration of the flight deck crew rest bunk and the electronics compartment below the cockpit. It's no real secret for anybody in aviation and unauthorized persons can not get there for reasons I will not show. So calling it a secret is a joke. 🙂
I've shown the EE compartment in another yt video earlier but this 360-video version is re-edited and better, I think. 👍🏼😉

Wow, it’s like my workplace Data Centre. The A350 is such a magnificent plane. Congratulations to all who designed and built it. I have a feeling it’ll be around for decades to come, with evolutionary improvements, just like the A320 and A330.

Dustin, nothing like lifting yourself up thru a hatch & having to balance on a 2 x 4 to slide in some modules or panels. Then you realize there's just barely room to lockwire the connectors & hardware. Not any more, retired & reading about it. 😄✌

Yep, and usually the rate of failure of the module or LRU was inversely proportional to the ease of replacing it. Maybe you could see it or touch it, but not at the same time. Then you've got to remove it, replace it and do the wirelocking with maybe a couple of fingers😥 Aaaahhh, memories😊

I program the main flight computers and displays for a living on similar aircraft. It's so simple because this stuff needs to be reliable, and sometimes a little simplicity is the simplest way to do that. Under the covers, there is a lot going on for the express purpose of ensuring that everything goes smoothly. You don't want lag at all, or any unexpected freezing of the computer. Plus, there's probably at least 2 or 3 of everything on this aircraft, if not more. For the aircraft I'm working on, we are utilizing a software/system architecture called FACE (Future Airborne Capability Environment). It's really neat, and makes it much easier to develop these complex types of systems. Basically the game here is functionality first, usability second, and looks last.

Those aren't servers. The modules that do contain computers run on a very specific, deterministic OS (ARINC) and there's no networking involved. When Ethernet is used, it's under the AFDX protocol stack that has nothing to do with your usual TCP/IP. In other words, you wouldn't be able to take this hardware into a datacenter and do anything with it.

@Hopeless_and_Forlorn 3 жыл бұрын

I am retired avionics instructor. Somebody has to understand and maintain all of the systems on the airplane. Each one of the dozens of boxes in the electronics compartment has it own job to do in the task of making the aircraft functional. Technicians must know not only the meaning of each light, symbol, control and switch in the cockpit, but also its source, function, and connections to other systems in the airplane, and its effects upon them. The task of detecting and diagnosing problems in the networks of functionality would be nearly impossible without the development of BITE, built in test equipment, in aircraft systems. Many airplanes now have dedicated computer terminals for maintenance, while other tests may be accessed through cockpit control panels and displays. Also, some individual boxes in the electronics compartment have displays and controls on the front that allow the technician to test and verify that particular box. I spent many hours teaching all of those systems and tests to technicians, but I began my career pouring engine oil into 22 gallon tanks on DC-3 aircraft.
