Abstract:
Actuation systems have been slow to take advantage of advancements in electronics and computer technology, now prevalent in other parts of advanced flight control systems. Two types of microprocessor-based actuator controllers are being developed which utilize these advancements. These controllers will allow the implementation of advanced reliable Fly-by-wire flight control systems which are compatible with distributed processing techniques. Benefits include reduced cost and weight, improved survivability and enhanced test and functional capability.
