Cover of Aircraft Systems - Mechanical, Electrical and Avionics Subsystems Integration 3e
This third edition of Aircraft Systems represents a timely update of the Aerospace Series' successful and widely acclaimed flagship title. Moir and Seabridge present an in-depth study of the general systems of an aircraft - electronics, hydraulics, pneumatics, emergency systems and flight control to name but a few - that transform an aircraft shell into a living, functioning and communicating flying machine. Advances in systems technology continue to alloy systems and avionics, with aircraft support and flight systems increasingly controlled and monitored by electronics; the authors handle the complexities of these overlaps and interactions in a straightforward and accessible manner that also enhances synergy with the book's two sister volumes, Civil Avionics Systems and Military Avionics Systems . Aircraft Systems, 3 rd Edition is thoroughly revised and expanded from the last edition in 2001, reflecting the significant technological and procedural changes that have occurred in the interim - new aircraft types, increased electronic implementation, developing markets, increased environmental pressures and the emergence of UAVs.
Every chapter is updated, and the latest technologies depicted. It offers an essential reference tool for aerospace industry researchers and practitioners such as aircraft designers, fuel specialists, engine specialists, and ground crew maintenance providers, as well as a textbook for senior undergraduate and postgraduate students in systems engineering, aerospace and engineering avionics.

Book 68

Cover of Design and Development of Aircraft Systems
"Design and Development of Aircraft Systems" is for people who want to understand how industry develops the customer requirement into a fully integrated, tested, and qualified product that is safe to fly and fit for purpose. The previous books in the aerospace series "Aircraft Systems and Civil Avionics Systems" have been aimed at providing technical descriptions of the various systems of aircraft with examples of practical applications. In these books only a passing reference is made to the process by which such systems are designed and developed."Design and Development of Aircraft Systems" has been written to be generic and not to describe any single one process. It aims to complement the other volumes in the series, and will inform readers of the work that is carried out by engineers in the aerospace industry to produce innovative and challenging - yet safe and reliable - systems and aircraft. The aerospace series aims to be a practical and topical series of books aimed at engineering professionals, operators and users in the aerospace industry.

Cover of Military Avionics Systems

Military Avionics Systems

by Ian Moir and Allan Seabridge

Published 24 February 2006
Military avionics is a complex and technically challenging field which requires a high level of competence from all those involved in the aircraft design and maintenance. As the various systems on board an aircraft evolve to become more and more interdependent and integrated, it is becoming increasingly important for designers to have a holistic view and knowledge of aircraft systems in order to produce an effective design for their individual components and effectively combine the systems involved. This book introduces the military roles expected of aircraft types and describes the avionics systems required to fulfill these roles. These range from technology and architectures through to navigations systems, sensors, computing architectures, and the human-machine interface. It enables students to put together combinations of systems in order to perform specific military roles. ""Military Avionics Systems"" will appeal to practitioners in the aerospace industry across many disciplines such as aerospace engineers, designers, pilots, aircrew, maintenance engineers, ground crew, navigation experts, weapons developers, and instrumentation developers.It also provides a valuable reference source to students in the fields of systems and aerospace engineering and avionics.

Cover of Civil Avionics Systems 2e
Civil Avionics Systems, Second Edition, is an updated and in-depth practical guide to integrated avionic systems as applied to civil aircraft and this new edition has been expanded to include the latest developments in modern avionics. It describes avionic systems and potential developments in the field to help educate students and practitioners in the process of designing, building and operating modern aircraft in the contemporary aviation system. Integration is a predominant theme of this book, as aircraft systems are becoming more integrated and complex, but so is the economic, political and technical environment in which they operate. Key features: Content is based on many years of practical industrial experience by the authors on a range of civil and military projects Generates an understanding of the integration and interconnectedness of systems in modern complex aircraft Updated contents in the light of latest applications Substantial new material has been included in the areas of avionics technology, software and system safety The authors are all recognised experts in the field and between them have over 140 years experience in the aircraft industry.
Their direct and accessible style ensures that Civil Avionics Systems, Second Edition is a must-have guide to integrated avionic systems in modern aircraft for those in the aerospace industry and academia.

Cover of Aircraft Display Systems

Aircraft Display Systems

by Malcolm Jukes and M Jukes

Published 22 December 2003
Display systems are the vital indicators that monitor the various avionics, environmental, and electronic systems that keep aircraft in the air. Aircraft Display Systems introduces the reader to the means by which information is presented to the crew, enabling them to carry out their tasks safely and successfully. Aircraft Display Systems provides an assessment of the current and potential future information needs in civil and military flight decks. It also offers the reader an appreciation of the technologies available to the display engineer in order to provide solutions that meet those needs. This volume will be an invaluable source of information to all those involved in aircraft design, build, testing, and investigation.

Cover of Aircraft Systems Classifications
Aircraft Systems Classifications

Enables aerospace professionals to quickly and accurately reference key information about all types of aircraft systems

Aircraft Systems Classifications: A Handbook of Characteristics and Design Guidelines provides comprehensive information on aircraft systems delivered in a concise, direct, and standardized way, allowing readers to easily find the information they need. The book presents a full set of characteristics and requirements for all types of aircraft systems, including avionic, mission, and supporting ground systems, in a single volume. Readers can delve further into specific topics by referencing the detailed glossary and bibliography.

To aid in reader comprehension, each aircraft system is broken down according to various criteria, such as:

  • Purpose, description, and safety
  • Integration with other systems
  • Key interfaces and design drivers
  • Modeling and simulation
  • Best practices and future trends

Written for aerospace professionals, researchers, and advanced students with some existing knowledge of the aircraft industry, this book allows readers to quickly reference information on every aspect of aircraft systems.
