Common Mode Failures and real impacts on design considerations in eVTOL.

by

What is a Common Mode Failure, and Why are they problematic? Common mode failures occur when multiple components or systems fail in an identical manner simultaneously. For a practical example, let’s take the example of a multi-rotor Electric Vertical Take Off and Landing vehicle (eVTOL).  In this example, if we choose to use identical software … Read more
