Abstract

In his recent paper "Probability theory needs an infusion of fuzzy logic to enhance its ability to deal with real-world problems", L. A. Zadeh explains that probability theory needs an infusion of fuzzy logic to enhance its ability to deal with real-world problems. In this paper, we give an example of a real-world problem for which such an infusion is indeed successful: the problems of aircraft integrity and reliability.
