  2. Fly-by-wire - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fly-by-wire

    Fly-by-wire (FBW) is a system that replaces the conventional manual flight controls of an aircraft with an electronic interface. The movements of flight controls are converted to electronic signals transmitted by wires, and flight control computers determine how to move the actuators at each control surface to provide the ordered response.

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Hardware-in-the-loop_simulation

    An example of usability testing is the development of fly-by-wire flight controls. Fly-by-wire flight controls eliminate the mechanical linkages between the flight controls and the aircraft control surfaces. Sensors communicate the demanded flight response and then apply realistic force feedback to the fly-by-wire controls using motors. The ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aviation_in_the_digital_age

    The first operational fully authoritative fly-by-wire system was developed for the General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon and its introduction in 1978 heralded a revolution in taking over the task of ensuring stability in flight from the traditional aerodynamic stabilizers. This use of "relaxed static stability" allowed aircraft to be made more ...

    Dimensions. 24 in × 12.5 in × 6.5 in (61 cm × 32 cm × 17 cm) The Apollo Guidance Computer ( AGC) was a digital computer produced for the Apollo program that was installed on board each Apollo command module (CM) and Apollo Lunar Module (LM). The AGC provided computation and electronic interfaces for guidance, navigation, and control of the ...

    Fly by Wire (book) Fly by Wire. (book) Fly by Wire: The Geese, the Glide, the Miracle on the Hudson is a book written in 2009 by William Langewiesche about US Airways Flight 1549 with emphasis on the role played by the advanced fly-by-wire flight control system of the aircraft. Flightpath flown (red). Alternative trajectories to Teterboro (blue ...

  7. Sikorsky X2 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sikorsky_X2

    Test flights and flight simulations were combined to improve test procedure. [11] [12] The fly-by-wire system is provided by Honeywell, the rotor by Eagle Aviation Technologies, anti-vibration technology from Moog Inc, and propeller by Aero Composites. [13] The rotor hub can have 10-20 times the drag of the blade. [14]

  8. Bell 525 Relentless - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_525_Relentless

    The Bell 525 is designed to meet a requirement for a medium-lift helicopter. It will be constructed primarily from composites and metal and is to be the first commercial helicopter to incorporate fly-by-wire flight controls, [22] with tactile cues. The system is triple redundant, and is developed in two simulator environments. [23]

  9. Control loading system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_loading_system

    Fly-by-wire systems are disconnected from the control surfaces and so do not need the complex features but add other functionality which is simulated. The high fidelity architecture has centralized control, individual analog signals to the control module, a brushless DC motor with low gear ratio and linkages to the pilot controls.
