Avionics is a combination of
aviation and electronics. Avionics system or Avionics sub-system depends on
electronics. Avionics grew in 1950s and 1960 as electronic devices which
replaces the mechanical or analog equipment in the aircraft. This PDF covers the
following topics related to Avionics : Introduction to Avionics, Principles of
Digital Systems, Flight Deck and Cockpits, Digital Avionics Architecture, Design
Aspects: Avionics, Controls And Weapon Systems.

This is a book about the use of computers in airplanes. This book is
organized into three parts. The first provides background material on aircraft
and air traffic that is necessary to understand the requirements of the
computing systems discussed in the book. The second part describes a spectrum of
avionics components, discussing their specific requirements and design concerns.
The third part looks at general dependability issues in avionics, from both the
computer engineering and the human-computer interaction perspectives.
