Piloting a cruise-capable eVTOL aircraft will be unlike flying anything that's come before it, thanks to fully digital fly-by-wire flight control systems. We jumped in Lilium's motion-rig simulator to ...

An onboard computer system relays those flight commands to the airplane's engine and control surfaces via an electronic fly-by-wire setup, automatically performing the desired maneuvers. The aircraft ...

Modern aerospace engineering increasingly relies on the seamless integration of advanced performance modelling with state‐of‐the‐art flight control systems. These systems optimise aerodynamic ...

A world that brings the future fantasy of the 1960’s animated TV show “The Jetsons” to life where individuals are flying around instead of driving may be many decades away. But a first-of-its-kind ...

Emerging electromechanical actuation technologies for flight control systems will support more electric architecture. Credit: Collins Aerospace With a new age of electrically driven advanced air ...

The McDonnell Douglas MD-80 was the last American-built aircraft to feature an analog cockpit. The aircraft entered ...
