Synopsis
Aircraft general systems provide the utilities of the aircraft such as fuel supply, air conditioning and hydraulics. As a basic rule general systems are mechanically operated, involving a transfer of energy rather than information. This book describes the operation and role within the aircraft of aircraft systems. It clarifies the differences between avionics and general systems, covers the special requirements of both helicopters and aeroplanes and looks at the concepts of advanced systems, such as flight and propulsion control. It is aimed at professional and HNC/HND level and at those on aeronautical engineering courses.

Présentation de l'éditeur
This third edition of Aircraft Systems represents a timely update of this highly successful and widely acclaimed work. 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 integrate systems and avionics, with aircraft support and flight systems increasingly controlled and monitored by electronics; the authors handle the complexities of these interactions in a straightforward and accessible manner that also enhances the books synergy with its two sister volumes, Civil Avionics Systems and Military Avionics Systems.
Thoroughly revised and expanded from the previous edition, Aircraft Systems, 3rd Edition reflects 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. An essential reference tool for aerospace industry researchers and practitioners such as aircraft designers, fuel specialists, engine specialists, and ground crew maintenance providers, it is also an excellent textbook for senior undergraduate and postgraduate students in systems engineering, aerospace, and engineering avionics.

Présentation de l'éditeur
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, 3rd 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.
