Aircraft systems is a complex system. In the design stage and in the flight and maintenance manuals (used by pilot and maintenance technicians) it is broken down into simpler systems that carry out homogeneous functions. Some examples include but are not limited to:
- Electrical
- Hydraulics
- Oxygen
- Fuel
- Propulsion
- Navigation
- Flight controls
- Ice protection (antiicing and deicing)
- Cooling System
it is Controls and displays in the cockpit panels are usually grouped by system.
Introduction to Aircraft system is one of the subjects for the degree in Aerospace Engineering at the University of Bristol.
Aircraft systems and their operations are described in the Flight Manual of the Aircraft (the so called -1 in Military slang) in part 1.
Famous quotes containing the word systems:
“The geometry of landscape and situation seems to create its own systems of time, the sense of a dynamic element which is cinematising the events of the canvas, translating a posture or ceremony into dynamic terms. The greatest movie of the 20th century is the Mona Lisa, just as the greatest novel is Gray’s Anatomy.”
