Systems Engineering Systems engineering by those who live it. Electric propelled aircraft have been operated for over twenty years with the solar powered fixed wing aircraft as the better known. Now there are over a dozen new electric aircraft developers, many with verticraft in flight testing. The new field with many start-ups provides opportunities for innovation as well as technical challenges for burgeoning organizations. ARSI's latest Engineering Monograph describes the potential for damage to operating components and materials due to electrical current leakage. Mostly seen in the chemical process and space industries, electric current damage is a significant concern for integrators depending on the operation of electric motors. |

The surface of a bolt grips (the smooth area) may present with an appearance similar to stress corrosion. However, the surface pitting will be from current leakage. See bearing surface in the image (left). | ||||||||||||
