Aircraft Electricity and Electronics Overview:

Complete coverage of modern electrical and electronics systems for aircraft.

Two books in one! Up-to-date coverage of electrical and electronics systems for all types of aircraft -- plus a full student study guideThis thoroughly revised guide offers comprehensive explanations of the theory, design, and maintenance of current aircraft electrical and electronics systems. In-depth details on AC and DC systems for all varieties of aircraft—including the newest models—are provided, along withimproved diagrams and helpful troubleshooting techniques.

You will get complete coverage of cutting-edge topics, including digital control systems, digital data transfer methods, fiber-optic technology, and the latest flight deck instrumentation systems.

A student study guide is also included, featuring a workbook with hundreds of multiple-choice, fill-in-the-blank, and analysis questions.

The book contains new and revised information on:

• The Airbus A380 and the Boeing 787
• Fiber-optic cable
• Brushless motors and modern sensors
• Variable frequency generators
