Board Information and Control Systems

The course is a substitute for:

Board Information and Control Systems (X38PRS)

Lecturer:

Tutor:

Supervisor:

Department of Control Engineering

Synopsis:

The course is intended for students of cybernetics and measurements branch. It includes a survey of contemporaneous state of used board information and control systems of both civil and military aircraft. The course is focused on their hierarchical structures, their subsystems and their interconnection. Certain attention is devoted to the aircraft engines, their control and state monitoring. Basic information is given about military aircrafts and their weapon systems.

Requirements:

Flight control systems
