Avionics is a term used to describe all of the electronic systems used on aircraft‚ artificial satellites and spacecraft. Avionic systems include communications‚ navigation‚ the display and management of multiple systems and the hundreds of systems that are fitted to aircraft to meet individual roles. These can be as simple as a searchlight for a police helicopter or as complicated as the tactical system for an airborne early warning platform. | | [edit]History The term avionics is

an aircraft’s main body section that holds crew and passengers or cargo. In single-engine aircraft it will usually contain an engine‚ although in some amphibious aircraft the single engine is mounted on a pylon attached to the fuselage which in turn is used as a floating hull. The fuselage also serves to position control and stabilization surfaces in specific relationships to lifting surfaces‚ required for aircraft stability and maneuverability.

Transportation of Cargo on Passenger Aircraft Embry Riddle Aeronautical University Abstract This paper provides information into the lack of aviation security with regard to cargo transported on passenger aircraft. Passengers and their luggage traveling on aircraft are subject to screening‚ security searches and body scanning prior to boarding. However‚ the cargo loaded may not have been inspected‚ allowing for potential security vulnerabilities to be exploited. Currently international flights

ever ridden in an aircraft. Although air travel is one of the safest forms of transportation‚ accidents do happen with dramatic and terrifying results. The causes of these aviation accidents vary greatly depending on specific circumstances and problems that may develop during the flight process. Weather is one of the factors that can influence an aircraft accident in a number of ways. There are several weather factors that cause and contributed to aircraft accidents. An aircraft can become directly

The Importance of the Aircraft Carrier in Defense of the United States of America The aircraft carrier has been around in various forms since the First World War. Its emergence as the key denominator of naval power is legendary‚and its continuing prestige in this role is even yet spawning building programs among established and growing navies. The aircraft carrier is the largest and most complex of all warships and in most cases the most expensive. In addition to the cost of the ship itself
