The Beating heart of an A350 (A350-1000 avionics bay)

[@joker_g7337]

I've been an engineer for the A350 my entire career. Cabin, hydraulics, high lift systems, flight controls, air conditioning. I was in copy of the telemetry during the first flight test. I never saw the interior of the aircraft, but only drawings, 3D models and schematics. Until now. Thanks

[@dennisvijverbergbrakesrele6098]

Awesome, you and your colleagues did an excellent job.

[@adcla635]

Hello I want to work for Airbus as an mechanical design engineer, can you give me some advice to apply ? Thanks !!

[@udirt]

Really a lack of thinking in management, they should have invited all designers to browse, you bet *the management* got the opportunity.

[@Tom32145_]

How can you be a A350 engineer your entire career without ever seeing inside one?

[@Texaca]

​​@@Tom32145_ ... Probably cause 10,000 people work at the factory, not everyone gets to tour the entire aircraft, much less ride in one. They're probably lucky to see the first unit roll of the assembly line 🤔 ✌🏽

[@goaram]

my thoughts exactly haha

[@davidstewart4570]

"... we need a lot less boxes, and a lot less boxes means a lot less weight." But I've never seen so many boxes outside a Google datacenter! This is incredible stuff. You sit in your seat, watch your movie, have a snooze, and arrive. Yet all this stuff is going on beneath your feet.

[@moboy4779]

Yes indeed.

[@ezekielchariot]

Too many complex systems with high reliance on nothing going wrong, Im never flying again.

[@beehard44]

@@ezekielchariot on the contrary, the important systems expect things to go wrong, which is why there's a backup to the backup for them. There's multiple primary and secondary computers for the FBW system, for example, plus multiples of each sensor so the ADIRUs can figure out when they start speaking nonsense. Part of the seemingly complex system is redundancy :)

[@udirt]

​​​@@ezekielchariotok dont, but those systems are there to make it safe. Or just count how many times he mentions primary/secondary, triple redundancy, backup etc. The key word for this kind of system is "dependable". Quite an opposite of what we got in normal systems.

[@Tmm42s]

I’m looking for the comment from the guy who says “You can run all that on a raspberry pi”

[@EstorilEm]

The craziest thing about that equipment bay is that you can shut the ENTIRE AIRCRAFT down on the ground with the flip of a few switches, and conversely you can start it up with a few switches as well. ALL of that equipment will boot up and talk to each other in the correct sequence with zero input from the cockpit. Cold and dark, to 100% up and running with (hopefully) no faults with a few switches - to me, that's the most amazing thing of all! Anyone in the networking world will understand lol.

[@dennisvijverbergbrakesrele6098]

It doesn’t always start up without any fault, there is power switching as not all systems come online at the same time. But in a minute you have more or less the important stuff running, but it takes about 8 minutes for everything to be started up.

[@Sterlingjob]

@@dennisvijverbergbrakesrele6098 RAT shedding and OIS!

[@jebb125]

to wake up the 900 is a procedure you must follow, cant just hit few switches and everything is ready. don't know about the 1000 as we are expected to get them soon, and I never go into the E&E thru the outside latch, always thru the CP floor

[@Sterlingjob]

@ it’s the same

[@raxneff]

no, the crazy thing is that even an outdated CPU from 20 years ago has enough computing power to do everything these computers need to do to fly the plane (maybe not all modern extras regarding passenger convenience) but for redundancy you have these like 30 or 50 (I didn't count) computers.

[@davidgrisez]

[@cobra1010]

Most people do not have the slightest idea what it takes to build and operate such en aircraft. This gives you a tiny glimpse of what is needed. Thank you.

[@DanFrederiksen]

none of this is needed. this is just really bad engineering. they make trivial things look difficult. some of these things had a billet milled front. Like it supported the wings.

[@bojcio]

@@DanFrederiksen of course you know better than the entirety of Airbus engineers. I'll trust your words over theirs. this is literally one of the dumbest things I've read in over 30 years that I've been on the internet.

[@DanFrederiksen]

@bojcio lol. I know I'm only a polymath genius computer scientist, father of deep learning and smartest man in the world but try to realize that you are arguing from blind faith in a perceived authority rather than any actual insight or intelligence. Would I be right to assume you have no electronics or computer engineering skills? nor general aviation engineering insight. I however do. I can see from a statistical stand point you might assume I don't know better than them but I'm not a statistical average. What airliner makers do in the avionics bay is for some reason very dumb. If you have some insight into aviation you might know what synthetic vision is. Even the brand new A350 doesn't have synthetic vision. That's another way to see that these boys are often headless chickens in a bureaucracy. Some of what airbus does is naturally pretty good engineering, other things are not. You might also recall Boeing designing a pilot 'assistance' system that resulted in 2 crashes because it knew better than the pilot and applied more force than they could hold. You might be able to understand that designing a system to overpower a pilot is a risky design philosophy. Maybe not.

[@Lumiobyte]

@@DanFrederiksen can u explain specifically what is bad, and why it is bad ?

[@DanFrederiksen]

@@Lumiobyte fair question. It's easiest to see with the units that are just information handling, no power electronics. For example at 4:27 there is a VOR-2 unit. VOR is an old radio navigation system that listens to a radio beacon (from 1946). Two antennas on the ground and you listen to phase difference to tell the direction. This is completely trivial stuff that's in any small plane avionics as part of more functionality. It just listens, no transmission. A smartphone has 5-7 radio systems, some that transmit and they are many generations more advanced. This functionality that is this huge box is completely trivial electronics that could be handled by a couple of square millimeters of PCB in the cockpit electronics. To place that functionality in the avionics bay here requires the box, the rack, the plugs and routing oversized wires back and forth to the cockpit. The 3 other boxes next to it are similarly trivial functionality. Imagine an engineer offering you a smartphone and it has 8 of these boxes attached to it that you have to carry around and that engineer says that that's good engineering. You see? This plane isn't an AI data warehouse servicing the entire world. What this plane does could fit behind a small panel in the cockpit with 1990s technology. Today's computing tech is so sophisticated that an intel 486 processor would be so small that you couldn't see it (0.0035mm2) and it could run 200 times faster. What they are doing in that avionics bay would probably be poor engineering in 1985. And indeed it looks like it's straight out of 1985. I wouldn't be one bit surprised if the culture of doing it in these clumsy boxes is from that time and they just never questioned it since.
