The Use of Embedded Systems in Aerospace Systems Design

Abstract

Embedded systems play a pivotal role in modern aerospace systems design, enabling real-time performance, autonomous control, and reliable operations under extreme conditions. This paper explores the integration of embedded platforms in avionics, propulsion control, flight management, and onboard diagnostics. Emphasis is placed on system reliability, miniaturization, low-latency processing, and fault tolerance, which are essential for both manned and unmanned aerospace missions. A comparative analysis is presented to highlight the performance trade-offs between traditional control systems and embedded solutions in various aerospace subsystems.
