Research is being conducted to accelerate the acceptance of advanced technologies by the airframe manufacturers. These technologies will make the aircraft of the 1990-2000 period more efficient and less expensive to operate. The implementation of advanced control functions requires the employment of suitable onboard flight electronics systems. The present investigation is concerned with a concept for reliable onboard data distribution which is focused around the use of fiber optic wavelength division multiplexing (WDM). Attention is given to aircraft control and data distribution, the wavelength division multiplexing data bus, semiconductor lasers and optical transmitters, an optical coupler-multiplexer, and optical demultiplexers. Results of tests on the prototype WDM systems indicate that the WDM concept can be engineered into a successful system with currently available components.
