Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Reduce system complexity by eliminating features

Optimize code using low-level programming and efficient algorithms

Use high-level programming languages to optimize performance

Rely on hardware upgrades

Question 4: In software development for aerospace systems, what is the primary goal when implementing real-time systems?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

To ensure flexibility and scalability of the software

To optimize performance under minimal power usage

To ensure that the system meets time constraints for critical tasks

Question 5: What is the main role of the power distribution unit (PDU) in aerospace avionics systems?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

To ensure proper power supply to avionics subsystems

To regulate the speed of the aircraft

To monitor the health of the aircraft's engines

To provide power backup during failures

Question 6: How do you integrate "Hardware-in-the-Loop" (HIL) testing with simulation software in aerospace, and what are the challenges of ensuring synchronization between the software and hardware?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

HIL testing can replace all physical testing in aerospace systems

HIL testing integrates real-time simulation with actual hardware to test system behavior, but synchronization requires precise timing and careful modeling of the interface

Synchronization in HIL testing is easily achieved by using any off-the-shelf hardware

HIL testing is irrelevant for aerospace systems, which use only software-based simulation
