Summary:

"Aircraft Systems Handbook: A Guide to Key Characteristics and Requirements provides comprehensive information on aircraft systems delivered in a concise, direct, and standardized way, allowing readers to easily find the information they need. This book presents a full set characteristics and requirements for all types of aircraft systems, including avionic, mission, and supporting ground systems, in a single volume. Aimed at aerospace professionals, researchers, and advanced students with some existing knowledge of the aircraft industry, this book allows readers to quickly reference information about every aspect of aircraft systems. Each system covered will be broken down according to purpose, description, safety, integration with other systems, key interfaces, key design drivers, modeling and simulation, best practices, and future trends. Comprised of seven chapters, this book includes original content that is organized in a logical way, emphasizing the interaction of aircraft systems."-- Provided by publisher.
