Essay / Research Paper Abstract
This 17 page paper considers the impact that computer aided design has had on safety in the aviation industry with specific attention paid to human error factors. The paper establishes the level of the problem of human error in aircraft accidents and then looks at ways it is helping to minimize human error, with the help given to maintenance, the design of the computer control systems and the design of the aircraft themselves. The bibliography cites 16 sources.

incident, whatever the suspected cause, will receive a high level of publicity. There are a range of causes which range from pilot error to mechanical problems, but all can, at
some level, be attributed to human factors. Pilots may make errors that cause accidents, but this may also be supplemented or may even be caused by mechanical failures which indicate
a different type of human failure such as the failure of the maintenance crew to carry out maintenance on time, or spot a fault, or maybe even a design fault.
However we look at it, the failure does, at some level, result from human factors. In all instances concerning safety of an aircraft and its passengers there will be
many influences, these may include aspects of bounded rationality whereby those dealing with the emergency, or the situation leading to the emergency may not have, or be able to gain
the correct level of knowledge in the time required, there may also be matters where the knowledge does not exist as it has not been created, as seen when there
are design flaws. As the accidents are, and have always tended to be high profile events, and can also cause a high level of liability on the part of the
airline company and the aircraft builders, there is a great deal of motivation to find ways of increasing safety in the aeronautic industry. Even where the accidents are not commercial
airliners, but military the cost of losing an aircraft and possibly crew is highly costly due to the specialised nature of the equipment and the high cost of training the
air crew. A tool that has been highly effective has been computer aided design; CAD. This has been used in all aspects of the aviation industry and aeronautics form
