Interoperability of virtual avionic components

Physical test-benches used in the aircraft development are complex platforms with high initial and recurrent costs. One means to alleviate these problems – Virtual Testing – is a promising solution that has already demonstrated its benefits in other industries (cell phone, etc.). However, in the avionics industry, it brings specific challenges: complex distributed systems, hardware heterogeneity, and multiple supplier infrastructures. WG-97 ‘standardises’ the integration of virtual avionic components and enable the development of ‘plug and play’ virtual test benches.
