An unmanned vehicle's flight controller, also referred to as an FC, FCB (flight control board), FMU (flight management unit), or autopilot, is a combination of hardware and software that is responsible for interfacing with a variety of onboard sensors and control systems in order to facilitate remote control or provide fully autonomous control.
Abstract representation of a Fly-By-Wire flight system. A flight control computer (FCC) is a primary component of the avionics system found in fly-by-wire aircraft. It is a specialized computer system that can create artificial flight characteristics and improve handling characteristics by automating a variety of in-flight tasks which reduce the workload on the cockpit flight crew.
A flight control mode or flight control law is a computer software algorithm that transforms the movement of the yoke or joystick, made by an aircraft pilot, into movements of the aircraft control surfaces. The control surface movements depend on which of several modes the flight computer is in.
Honeycomb (stylized as honeycomb.io) is an American software company known for its eponymous observability and application performance management (APM) platform and for its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) practices. Honeycomb's venture capital investors to date include Headline, Scale Venture Partners, and Insight Partners. [1] [2] [3] [4]
A hydraulic system is required for high speed flight and large aircraft to convert the crews' control system movements to surface movements. The hydraulic system is also used to extend and retract landing gear, operate flaps and slats, operate the wheel brakes and steering systems.
The fifth satellite reached geosynchronous orbit, but had severely limited utility due to damage to the solar arrays and antennas. The failure was attributed to explosive delamination of the fiberglass honeycomb fairing during flight. The inside wall of the fairing extensively damaged one of the solar arrays, and bent the transmit antenna mast ...
