What is a System Diagram and How is It Used During Wiring Harness Design?

Posted by Marc Piloian on June 4, 2018

A system wiring diagram is exactly what it sounds like – a diagram of the wiring required for a system. During the design phase of any aircraft, a wiring diagram is developed to show how the electrical wires are interconnected between the various components in each system. Modern combat aircraft like the F-16, F-22, F-35, • Read More >>
