Redundancy冗余
Redundancy is the use of duplicate or backup components, data paths, or functions so that an aircraft or drone system can continue to operate, or fail safely, after a single failure. Such designs appear in flight-control and remote-control system architecture descriptions, safety analyses, failure-mode discussions, and maintenance manuals, where dual-channel, fail-safe, fault-tolerant, and standby redundancy designs must be explained precisely.

Where this term appears
Redundancy appears in system safety descriptions, avionics documentation, control-link specifications, maintenance manuals, and UAV operational risk assessments. Translators handle phrases like dual-redundant, triple-voting, fail-safe, or hot-standby, as well as user-facing messages about degraded modes and backup systems, where terminology must align with engineering documentation and must be consistent with the source system architecture.
Translation checks
A common mistake is translating redundancy as 'backup' in contexts where the system continuously shares load or votes across multiple channels. That obscures whether a failure triggers a switchover or seamless tolerance; in safety-related text, loose wording can make maintenance staff or pilots misunderstand degraded-mode behavior and single-failure tolerance.
Keep the term aligned across your files
Check procedure sequence, part names, limits and cautions against the supplied references. Applicable aviation or market requirements depend on the product and project pathway.
Provide approved terms and previous translations with the source files. Agree how variants, ambiguous wording and revisions will be reviewed. Terminology maintenance and any termbase handback are confirmed in the project scope. See the 8-step AI + expert workflow.
