Aircraft Systems: Instruments, Communications, Navigation, and Control – PDF

Aircraft Systems: Instruments, Communications, Navigation, and Control (PDF) is an authoritative guide to the various systems related to control, navigation, and instrumentation in a typical aircraft. The book covers the most recent developments in aviation, including radio navigation, communication, and instruments, and it is written by a renowned expert in the field. The book’s comprehensive descriptions of traditional systems and reviews of the latest developments are enhanced by information on new technologies set to emerge in the future. The textbook covers a range of essential topics, including radio navigation, communication, instruments, inertial navigation, and MEMS-based systems. Furthermore, it includes chapters covering solid-state gyroscopes, the propagation modes of radio waves, the magnetic compass, and the format of GPS signals.

This accessible textbook includes an investigation into primary and secondary radar, the structure of global navigation satellite systems, and much more. It gives readers a wealth of worked examples of relevant calculations throughout the text and a set of problems at the end of each chapter. The textbook features “interesting diversion” topics throughout the chapters that link the topics discussed to other developments in aerospace. Additionally, it contains historical information on the latest technological developments in aircraft instruments, communication, and navigation and is packed with examples of instruments and navigation systems in actual use in cockpit photographs obtained during the author’s work as a flight instructor.

This book is an essential guide for upper undergraduates in aerospace engineering and pilots in training, covering both traditional and current developments in aviation related to instruments, radio navigation, and communication.
