Systems Engineering for Commercial Aircraft (eBook, PDF)

A Domain-Specific Adaptation

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Systems-engineered aircraft are designed to transport passengers safely, ensuring all components work together seamlessly. This book explores the concept of aircraft as a complex system, including humans, with safety as a crucial aspect. By prioritizing safety and quality, fewer fatalities can be achieved, leading to efficient, reliable, and safe aircraft for passengers and crew.

Systems Engineering for Commercial Aircraft: A Domain-Specific Adaptation, Third Edition focuses on Deming's definition of quality, its methods, and the benefits it brings, which were not covered in the previous edition. The Risk chapter will also be expanded to include discussions on Risk Denial, its consequences, and strategies to avoid it. A detailed examination of resilience will be provided, highlighting how it enables an aircraft to prevent, endure, and recover from disruptions such as bird strikes. The book will explore the proactive and reactive aspects of resilience, how a system, like an aircraft, can be defined by its functions, and how an aircraft's design should prioritize the needs of various stakeholders, including passengers, regulatory agencies, and other relevant parties.

The primary audience for this book consists of major aircraft companies engaged in advanced design, aeronautical engineers, and systems engineers.

Autorenporträt

Dr. Scott Jackson, Principal Engineer at Burnham Systems Consulting, assists commercial aircraft companies worldwide in adapting and implementing systems engineering processes. With extensive experience in aircraft design and production, he has taught graduate-level courses at the University of Southern California and has worked with Boeing, Embraer, SA of Brazil, and the NASA Glenn Research Center. He has authored two books, Systems Engineering for Commercial Aircraft and Systems Engineering for Commercial Aircraft: A Domain-Specific Adaptation, which emphasize the adaptation of systems engineering processes to commercial aircraft to save time, schedule, cost, and reduce risk. He also authored the book Architecting Resilient Systems, used in a graduate-level course at the University of Southern California.

Rezensionen

'In this update Scott Jackson emphasizes and amplifies why systems engineering is critical for engineers and project managers, and how to apply it to developing modern commercial aircraft. His additional emphasis on organizational effects bridges the traditional gaps between engineering and project management and manifests the power of systems engineering to integrate across boundaries among products, services, people, and organizations.' Ronald S. Carson, Missouri University of Science & Technology, USA and The Boeing Company (retired) 'This book addresses the subject respecting the characteristics of each organization, always showing the advantages of implementing the SE focused on the results. Scott Jackson efficiently and objectively presents how to address the life cycle of the aircraft in a functional vision. He concentrates on the application of the vision of the development of the whole as distinct from the parts and furnishes an objective way to facilitate the understanding of the roles and responsibilities within the organization when using Systems Engineering.'
