最近的现场经验表明，飞机起落架上某些类型的电线和电缆存在严重问题。该SAE宇航信息报告（AIR）旨在识别设计者应考虑的环境问题，最适合在这些领域中使用的材料，路由、夹紧和其他适用于这些应用的保护技术。近年来，飞机认证监管机构引入了有关电气布线互连系统（EWIS）的新法规，以进一步提高相关系统和飞机整体的安全性。

Recent field experience has indicated significant problems with some types of wire and cables as routed on aircraft landing gear. This SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) is intended to identify environmental concerns the designer should consider, materials that appear to be most suitable for use in these areas, routing, clamping, and other protection techniques that are appropriate in these applications. In recent years aircraft certification regulatory agencies introduced new regulations regarding Electrical Wiring Interconnection Systems (EWIS) to further enhance safety of the associated systems and aircraft overall.
