Auxiliary Systems: With Particular Reference to the Developments Towards System Integration in the British Aircraft Industry

Abstract

AT the end of the war in 1945, aircraft systems could still be classified as ‘auxiliary’ and ‘ancillary’—those which were essential for flight and those which were installed for reasons of safety, crew or passenger comfort and operational efficiency. Thus auxiliary systems generally included only the fuel system and ignition system, and many aircraft, particularly military, were flown into repair depots with one or more of the ancillary systems inoperative.
