ED-247A "Technical Standard for Virtual Interoperable Simulation for Tests of Aircraft Systems in Virtual or Hybrid Bench"

We are pleased to announce the publication of ED-247A “Technical Standard for Virtual Interoperable Simulation for Tests of Aircraft Systems in Virtual or Hybrid Bench.”
This document aims to standardise:

• The “Virtual and hybrid testing” approach through the integration of virtual and hybrid test bench components;

• The interfaces (virtualization rules for the different A/C signals and buses, commands, etc.) between virtual and hybrid components;

• The hybridation (mix of real and virtualized components);

• The exchange process between provider and integrator of components compliant with this standard.

Available on the EUROCAE website.
