Avionics Systems for Engineers

This document discusses integrated avionics systems. [1] It describes how integrated avionics allow pilots to access all information from a single source, engineers to access shared data, and hardware designers to develop systems as a single unit with high bandwidth. [2] It then provides examples of key components of avionics systems, such as navigation, communication, electronic warfare, and flight control systems. [3] Finally, it discusses trends toward greater integration of avionics and flight data with ground systems.

Integrated Avionics Systems

AOE 4065 – Aircraft Design

AIAA - Team #6 - 10/5/06

What are Integrated Aircraft Avionics?

 To pilot: all coordinated information is


available from a single source
 To software engineer: full access to shared
data about situation, mission, and systems
 To hardware designer: systems as a single
unit with ample bandwidth to support
processing

Where We Are Going

 Mitigation/elimination of radiation and


electromagnetic effects on avionics
 Slowing semiconductor wear out in devices
 More progressive form of flight planning
 Greater integration of in-flight data with ground
systems
 Projects worked on by: Boeing, Honeywell, Smith’s
Aerospace, and Goodrich Aerospace as well as
others.
