Providing a detailed examination of the issues that affect the long term health of aircrew, cabin crew and passengers, "Air Travel and Health" offers guidance to engineers designing aircraft in the difficult field of legislation and product liability. Examining the facts, anecdotes and myths associated with health and travel, Seabridge and Morgan draw balanced conclusions on which the aircraft operations and design communities can act to provide cost-effective solutions. The authors present a useful reference for aircrew, regulatory authorities, engineers and managers within the aerospace industry, and medical and human factor specialists, as well as an informative resource for undergraduate and graduate students.

Civil Avionics Systems, Second Edition is an updated and in-depth practical guide to integrated avionic systems as applied to civil aircraft. This new edition has been expanded to include the latest developments in modern avionics. It describes avionic systems and potential developments in the field to help educate students and practitioners in the process of designing, building, and operating modern aircraft in the contemporary aviation system. Integration is a predominant theme of the book, since even as aircraft systems are becoming more integrated and complex, so are the economic, political, and technical environments in which they operate. Key features: content that is based on many years of practical industrial experience by the authors on a range of civil and military projects; focus on the integration and interconnectedness of systems in modern complex aircraft; updated contents in light of latest applications; and, substantial new material on avionics technology, software, and system safety. The authors are all recognized experts, and between them have over 140 years of experience in the aircraft industry. Their direct and accessible style ensures that Civil Avionics Systems, Second Edition is a must-have guide to integrated avionic systems in modern aircraft for aerospace students and practitioners.

Building on the international success of their previous two titles. Aircraft Systems and Civil Avionic Systems, Ian Moir and Allan Seabridge have provided a straightforward introduction to how aircraft systems are designed and evolved, encompassing the systems approach. The design and development process has been given prominence. The reader can thereby become familiar with the means by which the systems of a complex aircraft emerge from a customer requirement and become reality as individual systems, as an integrated system, and as a complete fit-for-purpose aircraft product. For many engineers, the design and development activity takes place at a single domain level--the fuel system, the hydraulic system, flight control system, etc. Increasingly, there is a need to consider integration issues, the bigger picture: for example, the engineer designing the display system will need to consider the entire weapons system. Concentrating on the product life cycle, the design and development process, and the skills required to develop a product as complex as an aircraft, Design and Development of Aircraft Systems is a book for people who want to understand how industry develops a fully integrated, tested, and qualified product that is safe to fly and fit for purpose. Aerospace engineers, both military and commercial, designers, operators, maintenance crew and those studying to become part of the aerospace industry will find Design and Development of Aircraft Systems an invaluable resource.

The conflict at sea between Allied merchant ships, their Royal Navy escorts and the German U-boats was christened the Battle of the Atlantic by Winston Churchill on 6 March 1941. Churchill said that the 'U-boat peril' was the only thing that ever really frightened him during the Second World War, but 70 years on the men who sailed on the Atlantic convoys are among the forgotten heroes of the conflict. The casualty figures underline the constant peril - almost 3,000 ships were sunk by U-boat action. Reports of torpedoed vessels sinking in under a minute sent a shudder through the nation. But what was it really like? Coder Cliff Greenwood was called up aged 40 and began his naval training at the former Butlin's holiday camp in Skegness, Lincolnshire. From then on he wrote home to his wife almost every day, although posting his letters was not always easy. The letters are a unique insight into life on the Atlantic convoys, for Cliff's duties as a specialist Royal Navy coder meant he was involved in the transmission of coded communications between the escorting warships and their Merchant Navy charges, a role that gave him rare insights into the broader strategic picture. But as well as being a rare first-hand account of life on board a Royal Navy ship on escort duties in the North Atlantic, the letters represent a rich seam of social history.

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 aircraftelectronics, hydraulics, pneumatics, emergency systems, and flight control to name but a fewthat 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.
