Abstract: Described herein is a computer design-aided shield for exposed surfaces on aircraft, a method for manufacture, and kits derived from collections of shields, each kit appropriate for use on a single aircraft type. The shield is contemplated for first use on general and corporate aviation aircraft. The kits are designed for convenient distribution to private pilots, and easy use by them on their aircraft. The shields can be transparent, or can bear lettering or insignia.

Abstract: A method and apparatus that predicts electromagnetic emissions and susceptibility attributes of an electric device. A simulation is conducted which utilizes a series of mathematical calculations to predict performance of four facets of electromagnetic interference (EMI): conducted emissions; conducted susceptibility; radiated emissions; and radiated susceptibility. The method and apparatus provides for the analytical evaluation of electromagnetic interference of electrical devices prior to testing and actual measuring of fields emitted by circuits, thereby providing a system for EMI control methods, EMI test costs, and device redesign and retest.
