## Failure Generator

The failure generator will trigger system failures automatically, depending on the rules set for the type of generator. There are several types of generators available that have
different logics to trigger failures. Each generator has its own settings on its triggering condition. They can be armed individually and can trigger a specific set of

### Probability Over Time Generator

At any moment, this generator may trigger a set of failures among the selected failure pool by using the probability specified through the average number of failure per hour.
The mean time to failure (MTTF) is provided as an indication of the delay it may take in average to trigger one failure for the probability of failure per hour.

!!! note ""
Rates of failure in aviation vary between 10e-3 per hour and 10e-9 per hour depending on the criticality of the system.
