Down to the wire [aircraft wiring].

Aging, brittle wiring within aircraft poses a hidden hazard that emerging technologies aim to address. Among the most promising technologies are advanced reflectometry methods, for routine maintenance; so-called smart wire systems, for continual, on-the-spot wire testing; and arc-fault circuit break...
