Synopsis

An in–depth study of the general systems of aircraft that provide vital utilities such as fuel supply, hydraulics and air–conditioning. Recent advances in systems technology has meant that aircraft support and flight systems are increasingly controlled and monitored by electronics. Aircraft Systems is a thoroughly revised, expanded and updated edition of the 1992 work by the same authors (0 582 07223 9). This edition reflects the significant technological changes that have taken place over the last ten years. Aircraft Systems will be of interest to those responsible for current aerospace research together with aircraft designers, fuel specialists, engine specialists, and ground crew maintenance providers.

About this title

Review

"The book provides excellent coverage of the complete range of aircraft systems and is thus aimed at the professional aerospace design engineer who may have in–depth knowledge of a specialised area but who would really benefit from a broader appreciation of the workings and constraints applicable to all other aircraft systems." ( Aerospace Professional, January 2009)

From the Back Cover

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.
