Reihe: Aerospace Series (PEP)

This third edition of Aircraft Systems represents a timelyupdate of the Aerospace Series' successful and widelyacclaimed flagship title. Moir and Seabridge present an in-depthstudy of the general systems of an aircraft - electronics,hydraulics, pneumatics, emergency systems and flight control toname but a few - that transform an aircraft shell into a living,functioning and communicating flying machine. Advances in systemstechnology continue to alloy systems and avionics, with aircraftsupport and flight systems increasingly controlled and monitored byelectronics; the authors handle the complexities of these overlapsand interactions in a straightforward and accessible manner thatalso enhances synergy with the book's two sister volumes,Civil Avionics Systems and Military Avionics Systems.
Aircraft Systems, 3rd Edition is thoroughlyrevised and expanded from the last edition in 2001, reflecting thesignificant technological and procedural changes that have occurredin the interim - new aircraft types, increased electronicimplementation, developing markets, increased environmentalpressures and the emergence of UAVs. Every chapter is updated, andthe latest technologies depicted. It offers an essential referencetool for aerospace industry researchers and practitioners such asaircraft designers, fuel specialists, engine specialists, andground crew maintenance providers, as well as a textbook for seniorundergraduate and postgraduate students in systems engineering,aerospace and engineering avionics.

Über Autor(innen)

Lan Moir After 20 years in the royal Air Force as anengineering officer, Ian went on to Smiths Industries in the UKwhere he was involved in a number of advanced projects. Sinceretiring from Smiths he is now in demand as a highly respectedconsultant. Ian has a brad and detailed experience working inaircraft avionics systems in both military and civil aircraft. Fromthe RAF Tornado and Apache helicopter to the Boeing 777, Ian's workhas kept him at the forefront of new system developments andintegrated systems in the areas of more-electric technology andsystems implementations. He has a special interest in fosteringtraining and education in aerospace engineering.
Allan Seabridge was until recently the Chief FlightSystems Engineer at BAE Systems at Warton in Lancashire in the UK.In over 30 years in the aerospace industry his work has latterlyincluded the avionics systems on the Nimrod MRA 4 and LockheedMartin Lightning II (Joint Strike Fighter) as well as a thedevelopment of a range of flight and avionics systems on a widerange of fast jets, training aircraft and ground and maritimesurveillance projects. Spending much of his time between Europe andthe US, Allan is fully aware of systems developments worldwide. heis also keen to encourage a further understanding of integratedengineering systems. An interest in engineering education continueswith the design and delivery of systems and engineering courses ata number of UK universities at undergraduate and postgraduatelevel.
