Reverse engineering (RE) is the process of discovering the technological principles of a device, object or system through analysis of its structure, function and operation. It often involves taking something (e.g., a mechanical device, electronic component, or software program) apart and analyzing its workings in detail to be used in maintenance, or to try to make a new device or program that does the same thing without copying anything from the original. Reverse engineering has its origins in the analysis of hardware for commercial or military advantage . The purpose is to deduce design decisions from end products with little or no additional knowledge about the procedures involved in the original production. The same techniques are currently being researched for application to legacy software systems, not for industrial or defense ends, but rather to replace incorrect, incomplete, or otherwise unavailable documentation.

Q. what is the pridedure of reverse engineering for manufacturing aviation engine parts? Asked by jafar h - Wed Jul 19 07:53:44 2006 - - 4 Answers - 1 Comments A. if you are seeking PMA approval from the FAA for the manufacture of these parts you need first to go to the FAA regulations governing PMA application. OEM manufacturers also deal with the FAA, but you will not get any engineering data about their products from the FAA as it is considered proprietary in nature. PMA is granted on the bases of test and computation where by you must reverse engineer the part creating your own drawings and specifications, manufacture a test sample then test your part back to back with the OEM part proving it to be as good or better fit, form and function. this will require a full test report and first piece inspection subbmitted to the FAA engineering department for their approval.

What are the benefits of programmers using 'Reverse Engineering' when developing computer games? 3. What is legality of the practice of 'Reverse Engineering'? 4. What impact can you see of this practice on industry? Thanks in advance! Asked by Jason D - Sun Oct 26 03:17:51 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. Well I will answer to the best of my abilities: 1. the principals are to take something that you have, then look it over, then try to disassemble it and map the dis assembly of it with the goal to be able to reconstruct it whenever you please and to possibly make it better or improve the tech. you have with it. 2.they can better a game experience and make the overall game design better. 3.as far as i know the practice of reverse engineering is illegal yet its is practiced all over the world in secret(by governments and private industry). 4.it would and does bring about advances to some degree mostly in the programming of computers due to the fact most physical tech. can in theory be made by anyone. That is the best I can do. Answered by griffinman27 - Sun Oct 26 04:04:50 2008 Reverse Engineering Ideas?
Q. I am doing a reverse engineering project on an old keyboard for my engineering class. What are some ideas to make a keyboard better? And what do the specific parts inside do exactly? Asked by Moe - Fri Jan 16 10:29:15 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. Problems with present design: - keys getting stuck with one another - food and liquid spills destroying the electronics How keyboard works: - you can try explaining how the 'spring' system causes the keys to go back up after being pressed - what happens when you press the keyboard? Do you close up a circuit? You can investigate how pressing triggers something to pop up in the screen. Is it pressure? Does pressing the button down closes a circuit? Other improvement: - making keyboard flexible (which has been done) - how about keyboards whose keys are electronically displayed. this will allow the same keyboard be used as US keyboard, French Keyboard, etc Answered by Daniel T - Fri Jan 16 10:38:20 2009 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Reverse engineering"  miller-mccune.com Miller-McCune.com, CA NASA The USSR built the Tu-4 bomber by reverse engineering a confiscated US B-29 Superfortress.
