Introduction
to
Aircraft Systems
WHY ?????

India’s Light Combat Aircraft
(LCA) together with
its variants, is the smallest and
lightest Multi-Role Supersonic
Fighter Aircraft of its class.
This single engine, Compound-

Delta-Wing, Tail-less Aircraft is
designed and developed by
ADA with HAL as the principal
partner along with DRDO,
Tejas CSIR, BEL, DGAQA, IAF &
IN to meet diverse needs of the
Indian Air Force (IAF) and
Indian Navy (IN).

The McDonnell Douglas AV-8B
Harrier jump jet is a subsonic, fixed-
wing Marine airplane that can take off
and land vertically because of movable
nozzles that can send its thrust
downward instead of rearward.
A light-attack plane, the Harrier can

operate from Marine amphibious
ships, Navy carriers, or austere Marine
bases close to the enemy. It can carry a
variety of other munitions, as well as
Harrier Jump
external fuel tanks, under its wings and
belly. (McDonnell Douglas has been
gobbled up by Boeing.)

7
The General
Dynamics (now Lockheed
Martin) F-16 Fighting Falcon is
a single-
engine multirole fighter
aircraft originally developed
by GD for the (USAF).
Designed as an air superiority
day fighter , it evolved into a
successful all-weather multirole
aircraft. Over 4,500 aircraft
F-16 have been built since
production was approved in
1976

8
The Lockheed Martin F-22
Raptor is a single-seat, twin
engine, all
weather stealth tactical fighter
aircraft developed for the
(USAF).
The result of the
USAF's Advanced tactical fighter
program, the aircraft was
designed primarily as an air
superiority fighter, but has
F-22 additional capabilities including
ground attack, electronic war fare
and signals roles.

9
The Eurofighter Typhoon is a twin-
engine, canard-delta wing, multirole
fighter.
A multinational collaborative effort
between the UK, Germany, France,
Italy and Spain.
Currently service with the Austrian
Air Force, the Italian Air Force,
the German Air Force, the Royal Air
Force, the Spanish Air Force, and
Typhoon the Royal Saudi Air Force.

10
The Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning
II is a family of single-seat, single-
engine, all-weather stealth multirole
fighters undergoing testing and final
development by the United States.
The fifth generation combat aircraft is
designed to perform ground
attack, aerial reconnaissance, and air
defense missions.
The F-35 has three main models: the
F-35A conventional takeoff and
F-35 landing (CTOL) variant, the F-
35B short take-off and vertical-
landing (STOVL) variant, and the F-
35C carrier-based .

Type of Aircrafts
• Aircrafts based on Usage are classified as :
• Civil Transport Aircraft
• Military Aircraft
• Space Vehicles
• Civil Transport Aircraft

• Manufactured for air transportation businesses such as airlines and
cargo transportation companies.
• Range from small turboprops to wide-body jets and are used to
move people and goods all over the world.
• Belong to general aviation aircraft segment where the aircrafts
range from the small two-seaters designed for leisure use to
corporate jets used for business transport.

19
• Military Aircraft
• Military aircraft and helicopters are purchased by governments to
meet national defense needs, such as delivering weapons to military
targets and transporting troops and equipment around the globe.
• Other aircraft, such as unmanned aerial vehicles, are produced to
gather defense intelligence such as radio signals or to monitor
movement on the ground.
• Space Vehicles
• The part of the industry also produces space vehicles and the
rockets for launching them into space. Consumers of spacecraft
include the National Aeronautics and Space Administration
(NASA), the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD), ISRO,
telecommunications companies, television networks, and news
organizations.
