To follow up on Chris Scott's query and ionagh's reply, here are a few links from twenty years ago to problems the US Army may have had with EMI affecting its Black Hawk helicopters (I emphasise the words "may have had", in contrast to "did have"!). The Navy apparently did not have similar concerns with its Sea Hawks: they were better shielded because of the extremely EM-loud shipboard environment. endquote
Many years ago flying Canberras we had a situation where hitting the push to transmit button energised the explosive bolts in the canopy blowing it off. The VHF antennas were moulded into the perspex canopy and the feed to the antennas ran parallel to the explosive bolt wiring. If the shielding on the antenna feed broke the entire output of the vhf transmitters was coupled straight into the explosive bolt circuit and generated sufficient current to ignite the bolts.
This was considerable amount of rf energy in very close contact with very sensitive circuits and I doubt that in modern aircraft rf energy sources of this magnitude are anywhere near the fuel control system.
