Computing Across Modern Aviation Operations

Aviation Computing Systems maps the role of software, hardware, and information networks across the aviation field. Its coverage ranges from aircraft design and manufacturing to flight planning, weather forecasting, pilot training, and air traffic management, while also addressing airline, military, flight-deck, simulation, and communications applications. Case studies and interviews with industry leaders frame the subject through working examples rather than isolated technical categories. The book also includes a glossary, a directory of aviation IT providers and related resources, and a section looking ahead to future developments. Published in 1997, it serves as a broad reference to the computing systems and professional areas discussed in the book.
