The aerospace industry in the United States is highly regulated in all areas. Whether you’re flying in a trainer aircraft, commercial airliner, or military aircraft, each of them has gone through a series of tests to become certified as airworthy. In comparison to civil and commercial aircraft, military aircraft are subject to faster speeds, extreme temperatures, and quick maneuvers. As such, military parts require particularly complex standards due to them. nature in which they operate. The military will only allow the best products to be used on their aircraft— and there is no room for error Regulations cover everything from the nuts and bolts used on an aircraft to the main structural components. Electronics, wires, cables, seatbelts, etc., are all well-regulated.
The Department of Defense (DOD) creates standardized objectives that result in what we call military standard, MIL-STD, MIL-SPEC, or MilSpecs. These standards are set in place to help achieve interoperability, quality, commonality, reliability, etc. Military aircraft parts are categorized in various ways, but one of the vital classifications that protect defense products are the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITARs). It restricts and controls the export of defense and military-related technologies to protect sensitive parts. Companies have to be certified to produce or sell any of these products.
The DOD is not the only governing body to influence aircraft manufacturing and maintenance for the military. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) governs all aspects of aerospace through the Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs) under the Code of Federal Regulations (CFRs). Title 14 of the CFRs covers Aeronautics and Space and is where FAR documentation is located. Some of the additional federal regulations that cover military requirements are located in Title 32- National Defense and Title 49- Transportation.
