Avionics Modification Research Analysis: From Electromechanical to Digital Avionics and from Digital to Integrated Modular Avionics (IMA)

The electronic sets that are being used in aviation industry are commonly summarized as “avionic = aviation electronic equipment”. Nearly seventy years ago the first avionics devices used on aircraft were communication and navigation systems based on old gauge instruments and analog systems. Since t...
