An in-depth study of the general systems of aircraft that provide vital utilities such as fuel supply, hydraulics and air-conditioning. Recent advances in systems technology has meant that aircraft support and flight systems are increasingly controlled and monitored by electronics. Aircraft Systems is a thoroughly revised, expanded and updated edition of the 1992 work by the same authors (0 582 07223 9). This edition reflects the significant technological changes that have taken place over the last ten years. Aircraft Systems will be of interest to those responsible for current aerospace research together with aircraft designers, fuel specialists, engine specialists, and ground crew maintenance providers.
