Book description
Now covering both conventional and unmanned systems, this is a
significant update of the definitive book on aircraft system design
Design and Development of Aircraft Systems, Second Edition is
for people who want to understand how industry develops the customer
requirement into a fully integrated, tested, and qualified product
that is safe to fly and fit for purpose. This edition has been updated
to take into account the growth of unmanned air vehicles, together
with updates to all chapters to bring them in line with current design
practice and technologies as taught on courses at BAE Systems and
Cranfield, Bristol and Loughborough universities in the UK.
Design and Development of Aircraft Systems, Second Edition
- Provides a holistic view of aircraft system design describing the
interaction between all of the subsystems such as fuel system,
navigation, flight control etc.
- Covers all aspects of design including systems engineering, design
drivers, systems architectures, systems integration, modelling of
systems, practical considerations, & systems examples.
- Incorporates essential new material on Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS).
Design and Development of Aircraft Systems, Second Edition has
been written to be generic and not to describe any single process. It
aims to complement other volumes in the Wiley Aerospace Series, in
particular Aircraft Systems, Third Edition and Civil
Avionics Systems by the same authors, and will inform readers of
the work that is carried out by engineers in the aerospace industry to
produce innovative and challenging - yet safe and reliable - systems
and aircraft.
Essential reading for Aerospace Engineers.
