Having worked on mission critical commercial aircraft electronics, I can assure you every part is stress tested before it goes on a plane. Both after its first made and every time its in for service. Supposedly there has been research done showing that stress testing does not adversely affect reliability, at least at this quality level
Also, the paper trail is quite literally paper. Its kinda amazing how slow the aviation industry is to adopt new things
- hinkley 8y agoIt's possible I'm mucking up the jargon, but isn't stress testing electronics what most of us might call "burn-in"? I definitely want the flight control computer burnt in before I sit on the airplane. I was thinking more of physical components, like an aluminum bracket, and you don't want a part with metal fatigue being installed as new.
