Now in its revised fourth edition, this course-tested textbook elucidates the fundamental principles and theories of core avionic systems in modern civil and military aircraft. The latest edition features extensive updates on helmet-mounted displays (HMDs), including helmet-mounted rate gyros for tracking and advancements in HUD/HMD optical waveguide technology. It also highlights the transition from CRTs to solid-state displays in HUDs. Significant revisions on controls and fly-by-wire systems include a focus on the Airbus A350 and its improved flight control system compared to the Airbus A380. A new section addresses automatic flight control for vectored thrust aircraft, specifically covering the BAE Systems Harrier and the Lockheed Martin F-35B Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter, with detailed insights into the F-35B's vertical landing flight control systems. This textbook serves as an ideal resource for undergraduate and graduate courses in avionics and aeronautical engineering, as well as for professional development and training for post-graduates entering the aerospace industry. It is also valuable for practicing engineers at all levels who need a comprehensive understanding of avionic systems, aircraft navigation, flight control, and data transmission.
