Product Description
Review
"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)

Book Description
This text is designed to provide the reader with an introductory overview of the key system areas of commercial and military aircraft. It offers detailed illustrations and a comprehensive explanation of the concepts and principles of system design, including the evolution of system design and the functionality of the contemporary design. It also identifies emerging technological breakthroughs that may have a profound effect upon the standard for avionics technology usage and associated systems integration.
The book serves as an introduction to the field of aerospace engineering for students, and provides a platform for practitioners wishing to update or extend their knowledge in light of technological advancements.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Well packaged and approachable, loads of illustrations,
By "juditheb" (Diss, Norfolk United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Aircraft Systems: Mechanical, Electrical, and Avionics Subsystems Integration (Hardcover)
I am not sure how they've done it but there is just so much in this book to help you get to grips with aircraft systems. There are helpful diagrams and photos on every page and some pretty complex technology is explained really well. Each chapter has a good introduction and takes you through the topics until you hardly know how you've learnt so much.If you're in the aero industry or training to be in it, this book is worth buying. You'll be looking at it everyday. At the back there is some handy contact information too.

Written by Engineers for Engineers,
By GH - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Aircraft Systems: Mechanical, Electrical and Avionics Subsystems Integration (Hardcover)
Firstly, this is a highly recommended book for Engineers or Engineering students who wishes to understand more about the modern aircraft systems. This book is relatively easy to read as it is more qualitative rather than more quantitative like most engineering textbooks which every pages are filled with endless equations.Secondly, most aircraft systems textbooks are either written for pilots or mechanics who wishes to take the FAA A&P examinations. This book however is written from an Engineer's perspective. Almost every chapters of this book gives a comparison between the system architecture of different aircraft types from the various manufactures, for example Boeing vs Airbus. As an Engineer working for one of the largest MRO company dealing with both Boeing and Airbus aircraft, this proves to be a very useful insight for engineers as it allows one to understand the different approach adopted by the different manufactures. Lastly, at the current price you invested on this book, it is a relatively good bargain as compared to attending Aircraft Type courses offered by Alteon or LTT since it only cost a fraction of one Aircraft type courses. Although not as in-depth as those courses offered by the EASA 147 training organization, this book is sufficient enough to provide one with a head-start in understanding Aircraft Systems 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful

Comprehensive Overview at an Engineering Level,
By Peter A. Stricker "Aerospace engineer" - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Aircraft Systems: Mechanical, Electrical and Avionics Subsystems Integration (Hardcover)
I bought this book to help train our younger engineers in aircraft systems. Although our company's various groups specialize in hydraulics, fuel and electrical/lighting systems, I needed a good reference for the other systems that closely interface with ours. This book fits that role perfectly.The training went very well and the book was indeed well received. In fact, one of our senior engineers hijacked the book and read it cover to cover over a weekend, and I almost had to pry it out of his hands to continue the training the following week. The topics that are very well treated include flight controls, especially the more electric controls such as the EHA and IAP. The fuel system and software development are also very well treated, but in fact all the topics are very comprehensive. Most aircraft systems books seem to be geared toward pilots and mechanics and therefore do not deal with issues at a level that is useful for design and integration into new aircraft This book does that very well. The authors obviously know their subject thoroughly and I am grateful that they took the time and effort to create this book to share their knowledge with others. |
