TECHNICAL PAPER (FINAL): - EXTERIOR AIRCRAFT LIGHTING SYSTEMS Exterior Aircraft Lighting Systems Author: Peter Mann Abstract There are many forms of lighting on an aircraft and each has its own purpose. Aircraft lighting can be split into two distinct categories: exterior and interior. This technical paper will look at exterior aircraft lighting systems. It will examine the purposes of these exterior lighting systems‚ their implications on the aircraft as a system of systems‚ and the

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

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

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

Aircraft Design Project Introduction You have designed a launch vehicle to insert a satellite into orbit . You now need a means to transport that satellite from your factory to the launch site. A cargo jet aircraft is the most likely candidate‚ though it may have to be unusual in size and shape because of the weight and shape envelope of the satellite design. Speed is not critically important but range is. Since the aerospace industry has become truly an international business it would be advisable
