The authors, who are engineers in the UK, offer a guide that explains integrated avionic systems as applied to commercial transport aircraft. They describe general avionics principles and technology used in avionics computing, data bus networks, system safety, systems development, avionics architectures, electrical systems, sensors, communications and navigation aids, flight control systems, navigation systems, flight deck displays, and military aircraft adaptations. This edition has been expanded to include recent developments in modern avionics and new material on avionics technology, software, and system safety.
