This is a video about Polyimide. Kapton. The wiring inside aircraft that cause multiple Electrical Arcing Events. An Electrical Arc from chafing or other wire degredation has long been a problem in the aviation world. We explore that a little further looking at a few incidents where such incidents occured.
Imagine this. You're a passenger on a flight, flying home following a vacation. All seems well until a loud bang on board shatters the atmosphere of the plane mid-flight. Smoke enters the cabin, and a terrible situation has suddenly unfolded. On the flight deck the pilots lose instruments and are faced with numerous alerts as they try to figure out what the heck happened here. In a rapid descent they make a quick turn to a nearby airport. This is the harrowing scenario of one such flight in 1985. However, we also want to understand why this happened, and how this incident was connected to a wider issue that existed at the time. Fasten your seatbelt, this is the harrowing story of Monarch Airlines Flight 390.
