The most well-known is the system of normal, alternate, direct laws and mechanical alternate control laws of the Airbus A320-A380. [3] The other is Boeing's fly-by-wire system, used in the Boeing 777, Boeing 787 Dreamliner and Boeing 747-8. [4] [6]
Control panel for a Boeing 737-800 ECS. In aeronautics, an environmental control system (ECS) of an aircraft is an essential component which provides air supply, thermal control and cabin pressurization for the crew and passengers. Additional functions include the cooling of avionics, smoke detection, and fire suppression.
The 787's internal cabin pressure is the equivalent of 6,000 ft (1,829 m) altitude resulting in a higher pressure than for the 8,000 ft (2,438 m) altitude of older conventional aircraft; [62] according to a joint study performed by Boeing and Oklahoma State University, such a level significantly improves comfort levels.
In my reporting yesterday on potential delays, Boeing spokespeople denied knowledge of any serious problems with the 787's systems. As claims of problems increase, in my mind, this raises some ...
