When we undertake to design a complex system, consideration must be given to how the system and its components might fail and how these potential failures may be circumvented or avoided. Current aerospace design practice for the consideration of failure is described and its weaknesses recognized. It is proposed that failure design considerations become a featured element in the systems engineering process and that a centralized approach under the banner of risk management would provide a number of significant advantages.
