民机燃油箱防爆闪电防护新适航要求研究

民用飞机燃油箱系统防爆设计是飞机设计的一个重要方面,其中适航对燃油箱系统闪电防护设计要求作为燃油箱防爆设计及验证的一个重要组成部分,历来受到航空工业界及美国联邦航空局(FAA)的普遍关注。通过研究FAA 关于民用飞机燃油箱系统防爆方面闪电防护的最新适航要求,总结了相关条款的变化内容及相应的符合性验证方法,并预判了未来航空工业界由此产生的影响,对民用飞机适航验证有一定借鉴意义。

Research on New Airworthiness Requirements of Lightning Protection for Civil Aircraft Fuel Tank Explosion Prevention

Fuel tank system explosion prevention of civil aircraft is an important part of aircraft design, and airworthiness requirements lightning protection regulatory for fuel tank system as an important part of fuel tank explosion proof design and validation, has attracted widespread attention in the aviation industry and Federal Aviation Administration(FAA). This paper studies the latest FAA lightning protection airworthiness requirements of civil aircraft fuel tank system, summarized the evolution of the corresponding provisions and compliance validation method, and also predicted the future effect on aviation industry. The results show the method can provide useful reference for the civil aircraft airworthiness certification.
