Provides a significant update to the definitive book on aircraft
system design This book is written for anyone who wants to
understand how industry develops the customer requirement for
aircraft into a fully integrated, tested, and qualified product
that is safe to fly and fit for purpose. The new edition of Design
and Development of Aircraft Systems fully expands its already
comprehensive coverage to include both conventional and unmanned
systems. It also updates all chapters to bring them in line with
current design practice and technologies taught in courses at
Cranfield, Bristol, and Loughborough universities in the UK. Design
and Development of Aircraft Systems, 3rd Edition begins with an
introduction to the subject. It then introduces readers to the
aircraft systems (airframe, vehicle, avionic, mission, and ground
systems). Following that comes a chapter on the design and
development process. Other chapters look at design drivers, systems
architectures, systems integration, verification of system
requirements, practical considerations, and configuration control.
The book finishes with sections that discuss the potential impact
of complexity on flight safety, key characteristics of aircraft
systems, and more. Provides a holistic view of aircraft system
design, describing the interactions among subsystems such as fuel,
navigation, flight control, and more Substantially updated coverage
of systems engineering, design drivers, systems architectures,
systems integration, modelling of systems, practical
considerations, and systems examples Incorporates essential new
material on the regulatory environment for both manned and unmanned
systems Discussion of trends towards complex systems, automation,
integration and the potential for an impact on flight safety Design
and Development of Aircraft Systems, 3rd Edition is an excellent
book for aerospace engineers, researchers, and graduate students
involved in the field.
