class System(Component):
"""
Base class for aircraft systems providing core functionality for modeling
onboard equipment and subsystems.
Attributes
----------
tag : str
Unique identifier for the system component, defaults to 'System'
origin : list
3D coordinates [x, y, z] defining the system's reference point,
defaults to [[0.0, 0.0, 0.0]]
control : Data
Control system interface parameters, defaults to None
accessories : Data
Associated auxiliary components and equipment, defaults to None
Notes
-----
The system class serves as the foundation for modeling various aircraft systems:
* Avionics and electronics
* Environmental control systems
* Hydraulic systems
* Fuel systems
* Auxiliary power units
**Major Assumptions**
* Systems are treated as point masses at their origin
* Control interfaces are simplified
* No dynamic response modeling
**Definitions**
'Origin'
Reference point for system location and mass properties
'Control Interface'
Parameters defining how the system interacts with aircraft controls
