This eBook is the 8 th in a series developed by InterConnect Wiring. It aims to provide engineering and technical personnel unfamiliar with wiring harness design insight into some of the process steps required to design an Electrical Wiring Interconnect System (EWIS) for combat aircraft such as the F-15 or F-16 as well as air vehicles like the UH-60.
For many years EWIS design was almost an afterthought. It was pieced together at the last minute after the structural and system designs were completed. Wiring was often installed using a “just make it work” approach. But modern tactical aircraft systems are more and more dependent on the EWIS, and its reliability can be as important as the aircraft structure itself. This eBook presents some important concepts regarding the process for designing a modern, maintainable EWIS.
