This chapter describes the characteristics of the systems to illustrate the diversity of system implementations and design considerations. The generic form will be developed to illustrate a generic model of a typical aircraft system which will form a basis for further explanations of aircraft systems and systems engineering processes. A typical aircraft is equipped with a set of interacting systems that are combined to enable the aircraft to perform a particular role or set of roles. Systems such as the public utilities, e.g. electricity, gas and water, telecommunications, postal services, and transport, have a highly visible public aspect behind which lies a massive infrastructure. The sub‐systems show some interesting integration characteristics which must be taken into account in the overall system design. The modern military aircraft is a collection of interdependent sub‐systems designed for a specific role. It is important to recognise that airborne systems will interact with a set of ground‐based system.
