The Growth of Avionics: An account of the application of electronics to aircraft systems and of the latest advances in this field

Abstract

AVIONICS, meaning the application of electronics to airborne systems and equipment, is now both a convenient and acceptable description. The word avionics began to be used extensively in aviation literature about ten years ago. The earliest references to its use are in North America in the mid‐fifties.
