We help Organizations quickly Conceptualize, Design, Develop, and Implement Innovative Cost-Effective Solutions for Avionics, Aircraft, and Flight Guidance-Navigation-Control Systems.

Home YOU US What We Can Do What We Have Done - Avionics/Aircraft Sys - On Learjets Why ASTECH ASTECH's Founder Expert's Corner Links In Closing Modern Aircraft are totally dependent on the installed avionics systems for their economic and effective operation in all weather conditions with a minimal crew. Avionics often account for a third or more of the total cost of the aircraft, employing the most advanced technologies available. -- Author Unknown

As can be seen from the figure below, digital avionics/aircraft systems are extremely complex-- requiring extensive cross-functional knowledge, experience, and expertise throughout all phases of the program. The success of an aircraft development program, both financially & technically, can typically be traced back to the success of the avionics & aircraft system development effort-- most programs that have gone out of control cost-wise & schedule-wise usually attribute the situation to avionics & aircraft system(s) problems-- problems that in most cases could have been avoided. How do you stack up? Have you done the necessary front-end Systems Engineering? Are your requirements complete & correct? Do you have people qualified to get the job done right? Are things under control today? Will they be under control tomorrow? We may be able to help. A detailed block diagram of a Digital Avionics/Aircraft System is summarized below. Enjoy. Note: To keep the detail & maintain the flow, scrolling may be required. Sorry for any inconveniences.
