Today’s interview is with Petar Glamoclija, Senior Consultant at Mitsubishi Aircraft Corporation. Petar shares his vast experience in aerospace wiring that includes Embraer, Bombardier, Boeing, and now Mitsubishi Aircraft Corporation. His current focus is on Electrical Wiring Interconnection Systems (EWIS) and Flammability.
Petar was born in Belgrade, Serbia and has lived in Brazil, Canada, the U.S., and now in Nagoya, Japan. His long tenure in the aerospace industry and geographic diversity gives him a perspective that many lack. He opens the discussion with the incidents that precipitated aerospace interest in electrical wiring, TWA Flight 800 in 1964 and SwissAir Flight 111 in 1998. He talks about incorporating standards for handling wire in the design, installation, and maintenance of aircraft. Petar weighs in on how distributed power systems will have an impact on EWIS design. He is an enthusiastic proponent of improving safety on aircraft by sharing his extensive knowledge.
It is a quick fifteen minute episode.
