Modular electronic flight control system has actuator control-electronics having selection logic to decide whether to use directly received pilot guidelines or reference values of flight control processor for controlling actuator module

摘要

Modular electronic flight control system has a number of actuator modules (10,11) and a number of Actuator Control-Electronics (ACEs) (20,21). Each individual actuator module is assigned with a particular ACE. The ACE directly receives pilot guidelines and the actuator module is controlled accordingly. The ACEs have a selection logic, which decides, whether to use the directly received pilot guidelines or the reference values of the primary flight control processor (30,31) for controlling the actuator module.
