Key Words18. WEIGHT ENGINEERING - SPACECRAFT DESIGN
AbstractReliability and weight consideration are important criteria of every avionic design engineer. This paper concentrates on three specific ways in which Amphenol is increasing reliability while decreasing the weight of the equipment: * Substitution of metallic parts by composite material. * Development of advanced technology. * Converting electronic systems to optical. This paper shows details of each method with practical examples of application.
