Generic faults - The first word

The achievement of highly reliable, full time critical control system designs, such as those of fly-by-wire and fly-by-light flight control systems, is through the institution of development methods which increase the likelihood of faults' detection and toleration by redundant system architectural practices and reconfiguration capabilities. Management methods must accordingly give attention to factors that can be computed to act as predictors of fault and error performance on the basis of physical data.
