The evolution of aeronautical electronics is described. Trends towards system integration for airliners are indicated. The development of airline avionics specifications by the airlines and constructors is outlined. The design and function of avionics equipment, e.g., navigation aids, are explained. The Aeronautical Radio Incorporated 700 automatic flight system is introduced as an example of a system suited to the next generation of airliners. Radio navigation, communication and identification equipment are controlled by the digital frequency/function selection unit. Automatic flight control and auto-throttle functions are executed by flight control and thrust control computers.
