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 ...

Pilots notice more than just speed and performance when flying a new aircraft.

Aircraft performance and flight control systems together determine an aeroplane’s ability to fly safely, efficiently and accurately along a desired trajectory. Performance considerations encompass ...

Lockheed Martin's famous-yet-secret Skunk Works is conducting live flight tests of its Smart Adaptive Flight Control Environment (SAFE) autonomous AI system on the X-62A. The system can be ...

Heavier-than-air flight control systems have evolved from basic weight shifting to complex fly-by-wire, driven by the need to manage faster, heavier aircraft and reduce pilot workload through ...

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 ...

Marshall Aerospace in Cambridge has completed a flight dynamics and control model to support Canadian company Horizon ...

The U.S. Air Force is looking to fly more drones and other uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS) at bases across the country. On Monday, the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) announced that it and the ...

NASA and partner Lockheed Martin are evaluating a newly discovered flight-control problem with the agency’s X-59 supersonic demonstrator jet, and have moved the aircraft back inside for evaluation.

The aircraft earned a reputation for being difficult to land, but that did not fully ground it.

The 787 is Boeing’s grand innovation, nose to tail, wingtip to wingtip. The aircraft’s majority-composite design is at the heart of the airframer’s leap… The 787 is Boeing’s grand innovation, nose to ...
