In the second edition of Design and Development of Aircraft Systems, Ian Moir and Allan Seabridge provide a straightforward introduction to how aircraft systems are designed and evolved; explaining to the reader the means by which the systems of a complex aircraft emerge from a customer requirement and become reality as individual sub-systems; an integrated overall system; and a complete fit-for-purpose aircraft. This edition has been updated with extensive new material on unmanned air vehicles, together with updates to all chapters to bring them in line with current design practice and technologies.

For many engineers, the design and development activity takes place at a single domain level – the fuel system, the hydraulic system, flight control system, etc. Increasingly, however, there is a need to consider how these domains integrate into the bigger picture: for example, the engineer designing the display system will need to consider the entire weapons system. Concentrating on the product life cycle, the design and development process, and the skills required to develop a product as complex as an aircraft, Design and Development of Aircraft Systems, Second Edition is a book for people who want to understand how industry develops a fully integrated, tested, and qualified product that is safe to fly and fit for purpose.

Key features:

• Provides a holistic view of aircraft system design describing the interaction between all subsystems such as fuel systems, navigation, flight control, etc.
• Covers all aspects of design including systems engineering; design drivers; systems architectures; systems integration; modelling of systems; practical considerations and systems examples.
• Incorporates essential new material on Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS).

Commercial and military aerospace engineers, designers, operators, maintenance crew and those studying to become part of the aerospace industry will find Design and Development of Aircraft Systems, Second edition an invaluable resource.
