Question 1: Which of the following is most crucial when developing avionics software for commercial aircraft?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Compliance with aviation standards such as DO-178C

Reducing the size and weight of avionics components

Optimizing system performance to handle emergency situations

Minimizing power consumption of avionics components

Question 2: What is a primary challenge when integrating multiple simulation models (e.g., fluid dynamics, structural, and avionics systems) in a comprehensive aerospace simulation?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Minimizing the cost of simulation software licensing

Ensuring the accuracy of each model without conflicts

Reducing the memory usage of each individual model

Managing data transfer and synchronization across different models

Question 3: How does the integration of "Sensor Fusion" in aerospace systems benefit flight control, and what challenges do software engineers face when working with multiple sensor inputs?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Sensor fusion is limited to onboard navigation systems and not applicable to control systems

Sensor fusion combines data from multiple sensors (e.g., radar, GPS, accelerometers) to improve system accuracy and reliability

Sensor fusion is irrelevant for flight control systems that use only GPS data

Sensor fusion only applies to robotic systems, not aerospace applications

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Reducing the system complexity to minimize failure

Restricting software updates to only critical issues

Limiting the number of development cycles for faster deployment

Using different algorithms or programming languages to achieve the same result

Question 6: In the context of aerospace software development, what is the main advantage of using a real-time operating system (RTOS)?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Increased system responsiveness and predictable timing behavior

Faster code compilation times

Lower memory usage
