Introduction to Avionics Systems, second edition aims to explain the basic principles and underlying theory of modern avionic systems and how they are implemented with current technology for both civil and military aircraft. The key avionic systems and subjects covered in this book comprise displays and man machine interaction, aerodynamics and ???ight control, ???y-by-wire ???ight control, inertial sensors and attitude derivation, navigation, air data, autopilots and ???ight management. Avionic systems integration is discussed and a brief overview is also provided of unmanned aircraft. All systems are explained so that their design and performance can be understood and analysed. Worked examples are included to illustrate the application of the theory and principles covered. The latest developments and directions of research for future systems are included. Introduction to Avionics Systems, 2e will be an invaluable text and reference book for graduates (or equivalent) entering the avionics ???eld and engineers and technical managers throughout the aviation industry, requiring a single referenced source in avionics. About the Author Dick Collinson has had "hands-on" experience of most of the systems covered in this book and, as Manager of the Flight Automation Research Laboratory of GEC-Marconi Avionics Ltd. (now part of BAE Systems Ltd.), led the avionics research activities for the company at Rochester, Kent for many years. He was awarded the Silver Medal of the Royal Aeronautical Society in 1989 for his contribution to avionic systems research and development.
