Aircraft Avionics Industry Features and Trends
Avionics is referred to denote the electronic systems that are utilized in aircraft, spacecraft as well as artificial satellites. The modern day digital avionics/aircraft systems are intricate in their own ways, and need an in-depth cross-functional experience, knowledge in all the phases of the program. Hence, one can say that the success of an aircraft development program, technically as well as financially can be tracked to the success of the avionics development initiatives. Majority of the programs that have exceeded the cost and schedule limits are mostly because of some erroneous situation in avionics systems.
It is calculated that the global market for aircraft avionics devices in the forthcoming decade can reach an approximate worth of £30 billion. Today eminent engineering consulting service companies specializing in aero structures have been helping the global OEM’s. The services in this regard consist of software and hardware engineering, mechanical avionics design and development, control systems and instrumentation engineering, engineering analysis, automated test equipments, manufacturing engineering, simulation software development, technical publications and manufacturing. Added on this, the service providers also provide organizations and global clients with all-inclusive testing life cycle assistance to black and white box testing.
Few other selected important features includes the expertise on domains such as the Flight Warning Systems, Flight Control Systems (FCS), Flight Management Systems (FMS), Navigation and Surveillance (CNS) Systems, Engine Control, Communication, Hydraulic Systems, Landing Gear Systems, Electrical Power Systems, Environmental Systems, Electronic Flight Instrumentation System (EFIS), Engine Test beds, Fire Protection System, Simulators, Ground Support Equipment and the like.
