This third edition of Aircraft Systems represents a timelyupdate of the Aerospace Series' successful and widelyacclaimed flagship title. Moir and Seabridge present an in-depthstudy of the general systems of an aircraft - electronics,hydraulics, pneumatics, emergency systems and flight control toname but a few - that transform an aircraft shell into a living,functioning and communicating flying machine. Advances in systemstechnology continue to alloy systems and avionics, with aircraftsupport and flight systems increasingly controlled and monitored byelectronics; the authors handle the complexities of these overlapsand interactions in a straightforward and accessible manner thatalso enhances synergy with the book's two sister volumes,Civil Avionics Systems and Military Avionics Systems.
Aircraft Systems, 3rd Edition is thoroughlyrevised and expanded from the last edition in 2001, reflecting thesignificant technological and procedural changes that have occurredin the interim - new aircraft types, increased electronicimplementation, developing markets, increased environmentalpressures and the emergence of UAVs. Every chapter is updated, andthe latest technologies depicted. It offers an essential referencetool for aerospace industry researchers and practitioners such asaircraft designers, fuel specialists, engine specialists, andground crew maintenance providers, as well as a textbook for seniorundergraduate and postgraduate students in systems engineering,aerospace and engineering avionics.

"The book provides excellent coverage of the complete range of aircraft systems and is thus aimed at the professional aerospace design engineer who may have in-depth knowledge of a specialised area but who would really benefit from a broader appreciation of the workings and constraints applicable to all other aircraft systems." (Aerospace Professional, January 2009)
