Abstract
This third edition of Aircraft Systems represents a timely update of this highly successful and widely acclaimed work. Moir and Seabridge present an in-depth study of the general systems of an aircraftelectronics, hydraulics, pneumatics, emergency systems, and flight control to name but a fewthat transform an aircraft shell into a living, functioning, and communicating flying machine. Advances in systems technology continue to integrate systems and avionics, with aircraft support and flight systems increasingly controlled and monitored by electronics; the authors handle the complexities of these interactions in a straightforward and accessible manner that also enhances the books synergy with its two sister volumes, Civil Avionics Systems and Military Avionics Systems.
