Distributed fly-by-wire system

摘要

A system (100) includes a plurality of fly-by-wire control units (110) to control flight control surfaces (405, 410, 415, 420, 425) of an airplane (200), wherein each control unit (110) is adapted to operate independently of other control units (110) and directly control an actuator (215) to control a control surface as a function of direct pilot control device input (430, 435).
