Aircraft Flight Control Systems Descriptions
AIR4094
This SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) supplies information on the flight control systems incorporated on various current and historic fixed wing, rotary wing, and tilt rotor aircraft. A brief description of the aircraft is followed by a description of the flight control system, some specific components, drawings of the internal arrangement, block diagrams, and schematics. System operation redundancy management is also presented.
Rationale: This document was last updated in 2016. It is missing information on flight control systems for fixed-wing commercial aircraft, particularly small aircraft and eVTOL/electric aircraft. The fixed-wing military and rotary aircraft sections should also be updated to include recent models. This revision will fulfill these needs.
