Aircraft Systems Websites 3

I am surprised that no one has responded yet. Your question is important and interesting. I would like to learn about this as well. Does anyone have any helpful information? Thank you in advance.

Unfortunately I do not know of specific web pages that would help you, although Experimental Aircraft association does carry some information on systems for light aircraft. Good books in the field are however available, try the following;-

Aircraft Systems (I beleive the publisher is one of McGraw-Hills divisions)
Aircraft Flight Control Systems (SAE)
The Jet Engine (Rolls Royce)
Pratt & Whitney have a similar book
Most of these books are available from the internet. Sorry couldn't help further.

Try some of these sites

Chris and Jobeth,
The fields that you are interested in are very wide, but some basic components come to mind. Good schematics of time proven systems, such as a Lear Jet's, might be obtained by calling or writing SimuFlite Training at DFW or FlightSafety Tucson or Wichita. They may provide some help.
If I may be of help, please contact me.

Unfortunately, I have to agree that there does not seem to be any Web sites out there that deal with aircraft systems as a topic.

To add to what warburton1 posted, a little more information on some books on the subject:

The Jet Engine (Rolls-Royce) ISBN 0 902121 2 35
As the title suggests, this book deals exclusively with powerplant structures &amp; systems. Very informative about what it covers though.

Aircraft Structures and Systems (R. Wilkinson / Longman) ISBN 0 582 23656 8
VERY basic introduction to the subject, though useful if you're just starting out.

Aircraft Systems (I. Moir / Longman) ISBN 0 582 07223 9
Gives a good feel for what the a/c systems are used for and why the various types are chosen.

Aircraft Electrical Systems (E. Pallet / Longman) ISBN 007 155 2650
Not one I've read, but recommended by a licenced engineer.

With the possible exception of the last book none of the above are particularly technical (i.e. maths-based), dealing instead descriptively with what the various systems do and some basic design requirements.

Hope this helps

Thank you all!!!!!!!!

I work as a development engineer for AMP - Tyco Electronics located near Harrisburg, PA. I help design interconnections and electrical connectors for aerospace applications.

Dear All:
Contact

Chris,

Here is a link that may be helpfull.


Both sites have good basic training material. As far as Mechanical systems go try locating a maintance manual of text books for A&P certs. That may be helpful.

I work as a flight control designer for Adam Aircraft Industries. And I agree there are not very many educational materials for aircraft mechanical systems.

A couple of other good sorces are:

I try to look for good stuff when I get a chance. Good luck, if you find some more links let me know.

I think aerolearn.com can help.
