Research on Flight Control Systems. Volume 3. Fly-By-Wire Techniques

Abstract

The following flight control systems were evaluated: the Sperry three axis, two fail operate, FBW system and the McDonnell Douglas single axis single fail operate system. The mechanizations evaluated were the Hydraulic Research and Manufacturing Company Polaris integrated actuator, the Vickers Model MPEV3-044-2 motorpump, and the FDCL developed hydrologic hydraulic power switching valve. In addition, a discussion of redundant actuation and control equipment design techniques is included.
