About this Book

Now covering both conventional and unmanned systems, this isa significant update of the definitive book on aircraft systemdesign

Design and Development of Aircraft Systems, SecondEdition is for people who want to understand how industrydevelops the customer requirement into a fully integrated, tested,and qualified product that is safe to fly and fit for purpose. Thisedition has been updated to take into account the growth ofunmanned air vehicles, together with updates to all chapters tobring them in line with current design practice and technologies astaught on courses at BAE Systems and Cranfield, Bristol andLoughborough universities in the UK.

Design and Development of Aircraft Systems, SecondEdition

• Provides a holistic view of aircraft system design describingthe 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, & systemsexamples.
• Incorporates essential new material on Unmanned AircraftSystems (UAS).

 Design and Development of Aircraft Systems,Second Edition has been written to be generic and not todescribe any single process.  It aims to complement othervolumes in the Wiley Aerospace Series, in particular AircraftSystems, Third Edition and Civil Avionics Systems by thesame authors, and will inform readers of the work that is carriedout by engineers in the aerospace industry to produce innovativeand challenging – yet safe and reliable – systems andaircraft.

Essential reading for Aerospace Engineers.
