Abstract - Hydraulic systems play a pivotal role in modern aviation, serving as the primary source of power transmission for various critical aircraft operations. This paper delves into the fundamentals and working principles of aircraft hydraulic systems, highlighting their significance as the lifeline of aviation control. It explores the basic components, fluid dynamics, and the integration of hydraulics in controlling flight control surfaces, landing gear, brakes, and other essential systems. Additionally, the paper outlines the advantages of hydraulic systems over mechanical alternatives, such as high power-to-weight ratio, reliability, and precision. By understanding the core principles and practical applications of aircraft hydraulics, this study aims to provide a comprehensive overview of how these systems ensure safety, efficiency, and operational effectiveness in aviation.
