Air Traffic Control
ATC is at the pinnacle of its profession. The primary goal of embedded systems is to avoid collisions that necessitate the use of radar and communication systems. TCAS is typically installed on the majority of aircraft (Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System). The use of fly-by-wire and electro-acuated flight surfaces has also increased safety in recent years.
Components
Each component performs a distinct function. The door-opening mechanism, engine control, in-flight entertainment system, black-box, integrated modular avionics, and so on are examples. Each embedded system is responsible for recognizing its functionality and acting accordingly.
Avionics
Avionics, which are electronic systems with multiple functionalities and are used in aircraft, satellites, and spacecraft, are examples of Embedded System applications in aerospace. These avionics systems manage, manage, and display the communication, management, and display of hundreds of systems that are present in the aircraft to perform their individual functions. Their complexities range from as simple as a searchlight for police helicopters to a tactical control system for an early warning platform.
Flight Control System
The flight trajectory and stability are controlled by one of the many embedded systems present in a flight control system. These are of various types, such as one-axis FCS, which prevents the plane from rolling, and two-axis FCS, which allows the pilot to control the flight direction. A three-axis allows for automatic climbing and descending. This is one of the most critical and important Applications of Embedded Systems in Aerospace because it is directly related to passenger safety.
