Aircraft systems are categorized into mechanical, electrical, and avionics systems, each playing a crucial role in the safe and efficient operation of an aircraft. Here's an overview of each category:
1. Mechanical Systems
Mechanical systems are responsible for the movement, structure, and essential operations of an aircraft.
Key Mechanical Systems:
- Flight Control System – Controls aircraft movement (ailerons, elevators, rudders).
- Landing Gear System – Wheels, struts, brakes, and shock absorbers for takeoff and landing.
- Hydraulic System – Powers landing gear, brakes, flaps, and flight controls.
- Pneumatic System – Provides air pressure for de-icing, cabin pressurization, and engine starting.
- Fuel System – Stores, manages, and delivers fuel to engines.
- Environmental Control System (ECS) – Maintains cabin pressure, temperature, and humidity.
2. Electrical Systems
Electrical systems generate, distribute, and manage power for aircraft functions.
Key Electrical Components:
- Power Generation – Alternators, generators, auxiliary power units (APUs), and batteries.
- Electrical Distribution – Bus bars, circuit breakers, and relays to supply power to systems.
- Lighting Systems – Interior, exterior, navigation, and landing lights.
- Ignition and Engine Start System – Supplies power to start engines.
- Electrical Controls & Monitoring – Sensors and monitoring systems for voltage, current, and system health.
3. Avionics Systems
Avionics systems handle communication, navigation, monitoring, and control of an aircraft.
Key Avionics Components:
- Communication Systems – Radios (VHF/UHF), satellite communications, and intercoms.
- Navigation Systems – GPS, Inertial Navigation Systems (INS), VOR, and ILS.
- Autopilot & Flight Control Systems – Assists pilots in flying the aircraft.
- Flight Management System (FMS) – Automates navigation, fuel management, and performance calculations.
- Weather Radar & Terrain Avoidance – Provides real-time weather and obstacle warnings.
- Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS) – Digital displays replacing analog instruments.
Interconnections Between Systems:
- Hydraulics & Electrical – Many hydraulic actuators are controlled electrically (Fly-by-Wire).
- Avionics & Electrical – Avionics depend on electrical power for operation.
- Mechanical & Avionics – Sensors provide real-time data to avionics systems for monitoring performance.
