French term

définition homogène

French to English Tech/Engineering Aerospace / Aviation / Space
This is a specification for a contract.

Une flotte d’avions de ***définition homogène*** avec moyens de simulation embarqués

I see the translation "consistent definition," but not used specifically in an aviation context. Maybe another term would be better?

@ CC Like your uniformity of specification.
chris collister Apr 30, 2015:
I don't believe there is a typo here, although it is just plausible that a fleet of aircraft should be "finished" e.g. in the same colours. Uniformity of specification seems more likely, e.g. the same engines, electronics, controls, etc.

Is there perhaps a typo here?
Could it be de finition homogène and NOT de définition .....

agree chris collister : or to spell it out, "consistently similar..."// I wouldn't necessarily agree that "consistent" has temporal overtones; eg. paintwork can be spatially consistent. But let's not split hairs...

Thanks Chris. I think that "consistently similar" implies over time, which doesn't seem right in the context.
